Viewing/Printing those pesky PostScript files

Without a genyoowine PostScript printer at your disposal, how
can PostScript files be viewed/printed? Is there a conversion
or viewing/printing utility available (to TrueType even)? 
Can any of the popular word processors or vector-based drawing
programs turn this importing trick?
(*Besides* Corel Draw, please...cough, cough!) 

Many of those wonderful Microsoft white papers and sundry other
Net gems are in this raw PostScript format and I'd like to know
how the PSPrinter-less are handling them. [O' my kingdom for
a PostScript cartridge for my IIIp :-]

If this is a FAQ, then shoot my dog.
