Actually such a beast exists. A fellow CS major here at Tech has been
working on such a project and he is very close to releasing ghostview
for the mac. It will render postscript to the screen or to dot matrix
printers (I don't think it has been tested w/ non-postscript laser
printers yet). You can contact the author at finchm@csugrad.cs.vt.edu
