I was using svn checked out around December and --to=ps was not working.
Switched to 2.6.6 and it now works. Thanks.

P.S. I am still getting this warning:

** (abiword:32154): WARNING **: IPP request failed with status 1030

Any ideas what this could be? I'm guessing it may be because I don't have
gnome fully installed - only the libs needed for abiword - and there is no
printer set up.
