Some people had the same problem (after updating to KDE3.2.), and I now found 
the solution.

Go to the file association dialogue and make sure that the default embedded 
viewer is Kghostview. It was set to Karbon14, and Karbon14 can't open the 
print postscript file. 

Actually: When I try to remove Karbon14 from the file association, it always 
comes back as default viewer... so I have to leave Karbon14 in the file 
association but in second place.

Hope that helps others with the same problem...

All the best
Stephan
