You might try xpdf (free) or RoPS (non-free)

	Is xpdf really more friendly than gsview? As far as I could tell, it's a bunch of command line utilities. – ripper234 Jan 19 '11 at 7:20
	You're right. Most pdf's you can open in xpdf just by specifying the file name. gs almost always requires cmd line parameters that are hard to remember. If you don't like the cmd line, go with Elazar's suggestion & use IrfanView. – DaveParillo Jan 25 '11 at 16:34

You can use IrfanView to view the PS documents.

Doesn't appear to handle multiple page PS files well, such as those supplied by Donald Knuth. – michaelc Apr 23 at 21:36
