One very very elaborate way to do it (which I do all the time, though) is to print the PostScript file via one of the various emulators into a different format. I use QMS/UltraScript to print hand-coded PS into a PCX file. This can be faxed, or it can be packed into a smaller greyscale PCX file with BIT2GRAY or equivalent. This PCX file can be displayed on screen with VPIC and then written out to a GIF file, which takes up less room than a PCX file. I didn't say it was simple, but by and large, the on screen previewing comes out quite nicely.
