If you get `bop undefined' when printing dvips output, your print spooler
(or whatever software you use to talk to your PostScript printers) is
broken.  Remove all of the %% comments from the file (or use the option
on dvips that causes them never to be generated) and then things will work.

Essentially, the problem is that dvips output looks like:

... prolog files; don't affect any stacks ...

%%EndProlog
%%BeginSetup
TeXDict begin  % open TeX dictionary
%%EndSetup
%%Page 1 1
bop . . .

and somehow your spooler is removing the Setup section.
