A .dvi file is a non-printer specific format file. To print a .dvi file, you need to turn it into something your printer can handle. There are few printers that can handle .dvi. Look at dvi* in the ports. I use dvilj2 to print to an HP LaserJet III. The page you see with information about your computer and user name is to identify print jobs for different users, in a shared environment. You can turn it off in /etc/printcap with the sh property. Look at man printcap.
