Not really an error.  Just a warning.  TeX is telling you that on a
certain page, it couldn't find any good places to break a paragraph,
figure, or a header, while trying to keep certain things together, on
a certain page, and that it went 6 points beyond what was allowed.
Ignore it.

Now that's definitely a problem.  Here, dvips can't find a font that
the document needs.  How did you install TeX and dvips?  A good
installation probably enables dvips to run MakeTeXPK, which lets dvips
generate missing fonts on-the-fly.
