Try loading Preview and then using the File/Open menu
item.  Check the box marked "Use Simple Mode" before you
select the filename.

This seems to change the way things are printed as well as
the way they are previewed.  I often use it with unfriendly
Mac-generated PostScript files. 

Is there a way to set your defaults so that box will stay
checked?
