This problem is not uncommon and is caused by an entry in the file
config.ps that tells dvips to turn off PostScript comments by default.
This can be necessary for some printers or PostScript interpreters,
mainly very old ones.  To fix it you should find and edit the file
config.ps: there will be a line starting with `N' that should be
deleted or commented out.  If you don't have the rights to do this you
can copy the system config.ps file to a file called .dvipsrc in your
home directory and edit it there.
