Print preview never seems to work

I was wondering if someone could give me some tips to get the print preview feature to work with my KDE apps. All I get are blank pages when I print preview with any KDE app. (Konqueror, Koffice, for example).

Applications, like GIMP and OpenOffice seem to display print preview okay, it just seems as though KDE is missing something or something is not configured properly.

Any advice?

Check that you have KGhostView installed and that it can display Postscript files when run standalone.

Ah, thank you. Yes, Ghostscript is not opening up .ps or .pdf documents. I get an error:

Source code

I'll have to see if I can Google up any info. on this.
