Capturing a PostScript printout on another PC

I am looking for some hardware or software that will allow me to
capture a PostScript printout that is being sent over a network
(JetDirect).  After the capturing the printout, it would be stored for
later viewing.  I want to view the printout on a CRT not print it to
paper.  I would want to keep 50 to 100 historical printouts, then they
could be deleted.

Thanks,
Larry

And the problem with distilling the PostScript file with Acrobat or 
using GhostScript is...?

Actually, very little PostScript is sent to printers these days.
More often than not, Acrobat or Ghostscript works through a printer driver.

Undoing the driver commands back into PostScript could be horrendously 
difficult.
