If you have Adobbe Ilustrator try that.
I usually use word 4.0 to print the few PS-files I have. This is definitly not 
the best solution, but it suffices for the few times I need it.
The procedure:
  go into word and open the ascii-PS file. Select the entire text and under
  define styles enter the style PostScript. Do NOT have it redefined (answere
  no to the aller message). The text selected should disapear (unless you have
  Show "q" on). Now print the "empty" document.
