The string 'Preview' does not occur in the file. The header looks like
this
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 18 19 592 774
%%Creator: Wind/U Xprinter Version 3.3.1 (darwin) (Compile Date: Apr 18
2006 11:29:00) (bowman)

%%BeginProlog
There is a large bitmap in the file (or multiple tiles, I don't know
enough PS to know).
If I try to use the Postscript file printer instead, I get a Postscript
file, but I cannot open it with any other software I own (Adobe
Illustrator, pstopdf, etc.)
