[STR New]

There are two other ways of achieving what you want: dvips options 
can be specified in $HOME/.dvipsrc on a per-user basis, or as a 
site-wide modification by modifying ${TEXMF}/dvips/config/config.ps .
Also, you can create a modified version of dvipdf in your /usr/local
or other location which is site-specific to your installation in
everybody's $PATH. 

I just really do not see why a change that *you* want at the sacrifice
of security, either for your personal need or your site's need, 
should be made to everybody's cups installation world-wide.

Can you explain why this change is a good idea for *every cups user
worldwide*?
