Unable to convert postscript to usable form, using either ps2pdf or gs


I have a generated postscript file (from trueprint) that I need to get into
a usable form on Windows, so I can view it and print it.  I've tried both
"ps2pdf" and "gs", with no success so far.

I first tried using "ps2pdf".  This fails with:

---------------
% ps2pdf tp.ps tp.pdf
GPL Ghostscript 8.62: **** Could not open temporary file
/c/DOCUME~1/User/LOCALS~1/Temp/gs_dwvfJL
**** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.
---------------

It isn't an obvious permissions problem, because I can "touch" that file
with no problem.

I then tried just "gs tp.ps", and that fails with this:
