You should get dvips from labrea.stanford.edu.
This PostScript driver has all the options you want and more.
The PostScript files generated by dvips don't give problems on 
any of the 6 different PostScript devices/interpreters in my company.

BTW
There is a seperate newsgroup for tex: "comp.text.tex". Amongst others
this newsgroup features a monthly "frequently asked questions" posting.
