Why is dvips ignoring the -P option?



Following a recent discussion on this list ("Using more than one driver
for a laser printer?") I used CUPS to set up two virtual printers that
both connect to /dev/lp0 using different drivers: the Brother driver
and the raw PostScript driver.  The first one is my default and I use
the second one for printing the PostScript output of commands (it looks
better).

When I run "dvips -Pps foo", the output goes to the Brother printer
driver.  I can get it to go the way I want with "dvips -o - foo |lpr
-Pps" but it annoys me that the first way doesn't work.  Any
suggestions?
