Well I don't have an answer but some more info.

On my woody box dvips is called dvi2ps and when I run it 

VT1 root-Deb-Woody:~# dvi2ps /usr/doc/gdb/refcard.dvi

dvi2ps: FATAL-- cannot open fontdesc file //fontdesc

It dosen't run like your command does.  I have 
dvi2ps ver 3.0a1-4 installed.  What version do you have?
