Add lenny sources to your sources.list
aptitude update
aptitude install dvips(k)

this will pull in any dependencies from lenny it requires.

Change your sources list back to etch,

You could also learn about apt pinning or use backports.org

Note that running a system halfway between distributions is not
recommended, something will break eventually.

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to
ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
apartment it is.
