ghostscript and ghost view
windows, linux, mac etc

many places to get it from
google it

convert to pdf or text or picture

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/5682/postscript.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/
http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/wim/ghost/

It will open prn files, depending on
printer format(can be problems with hp 's).

Suggest if it will open the file
without errors, print to pdf.
