Yes, it looks like evince is not working for .ps files
on my system running fully up to date CentOS 6.8. Three
years ago, a .pdf version of this file was created and
it still displays as it should using evince.

[user at computer Documents]$ evince DPS_2014_1443inv.ps &
[1] 9865
[user at computer Documents]$ invalidaccess -7
invalidaccess -7

** (evince:9865): WARNING **: Error rendering thumbnail
invalidaccess -7
invalidaccess -7

[1]+  Done                    evince DPS_2014_1443inv.ps
