I did a quick search and didn't seem to find anything on this subject, so I'm hoping one of my fellow forum members might have a suggestion or two.

Here's the scenario;

I have some software that can print files to disk in Adobe Postscript format. The problem is, I can't view them or print them (the software that generates the file doesn't recognize the USB port my printer is connected to). So I go surfing on the web in search of some software that might allow me to view and print the files and get a few hits. Unfortunately, none of them seem to be what I am looking for, at least based on their descriptions.

So here's what I am looking for;

Some sort of software that will view/read Adobe Postscript files that works in Windows XP. Preferably, I'd like something that I can download from an authorized distributor for free, but I realize I might have to pay for the software. If anyone has any suggestions, or any advice, I am all ears.
