Every NeXT comes with a PostScript Level II previewer called Preview
that *does* print and fax and zoom and do n-up, landscape or portrait.

There is also an interactive PostScript interpreter called YAP
that comes bundled with every NeXT.

NeXT lives and breathes PostScript.
Why on earth would you want ghostscript on a NeXT?
(other GNU software I can understand)
