The only alternative I know of is dvilj4, but I doubt that many people
are actively using that. I would not personnally be against such a
change, especially if we manage to make printing use the default
dvi->ps converter without much special casing. And having a
ps->printer converter sounds good. But then, we have to make sure that
there is no loss of functionality.
