TeX-print can be defined as some system default print command for the  
file type DVI, or something else. Yap can have its own idea on how to  
convert DVI to whatever your *particular* printer accepts as input.

Here dvips just acts as a filter. It has no idea of what your printer  
might be or accept. It's safe to filter colour to levels of grey.
