I didn't include support for dvi-ivd when I merged various versions of
dvi2ps for a number of reasons. Mainly, the concensus among the
experts seems to be that such extensions should be handled by
filtering programs and not directly by printer drivers. There is a
program called ivd2dvi, by Larry Denenberg, available by anonymous ftp
from june.cs.washington.edu (as part of the standard Unix TeX
distribution) which converts dvi-ivd files to ordinary dvi files which
can then be printed by any printer driver.
