By default Executor runs the PostScript output through lpr; if your
PRINTER environment variable doesn't specify the right printer, lpr
won't know where to send it.  The FAQ explains how you can write your
own executor printer filter, which you could use for diagnostic
purposes if nothing else.

Good luck!
