Well, if gs is installed correctly "gs filename" should be enough to display the file on the screen. Note that some of the samples in /usr/share/doc/gs-esp/examples/ might be gziped and could confuse gs if you attempt to display them without decompressing them. Does "gs /usr/share/cups/data/testprint.ps" work? If so, when you go to http://localhost:631/ is your printer correctly configured and can you print the test page? If not maybe posting your /var/log/cups/error_log could be of some help.
