If dvips is given a printer name, it sets the output for the
appropriate printer using config.printername, which sets an output
pipe command (see dvips(1)). Hence, it can use lpr or CUPS, but is
dependent on the system and user's TeX configuration. This is normally
what you want unless you're trying to let Emacs select the printing
system, but surely this is best left to system and user configuration
outside Emacs rather than trying to let the Emacs user reconfigure
everything inside Emacs.
