Seems like you have not updated your font maps properly after installing
Malayalam Omega.  Usually, the installation script does the job. Anyway,
you can update:

  sudo updmap-sys --enable Map malayalam.map

Whatever the case, the contents of malayalam.map shall get into psfonts.map
so that dvips knows the postscript (*.pfb) font file names for each *.tfm
used by TeX.

You can also try with the command:

  dvips -u malayalam.map <your_file> -o

In this case, malayalam.map shall be either visible to dvips or shall be in
the working directory. If you have still problems, please get back.

Best
