I have it on my Mac but it did not help with the particular ps file.

% pkfix QYNS.ps QYNS2.ps
PKFIX 1.3, 2005/02/25 - Copyright (c) 2001, 2005 by Heiko Oberdiek.
!!! Warning: dvips version 5.512 does not generate the required font comments!
!!! Error: Missing comment `%DVIPSParameters'!


Further Preview even refused to process QYNS2.ps


Actually in my lecture for grad students I used these ps files for
Acrobat OCR (after producing pdf) and for conversion with OCR to djvu
because they were no different from scanned papers
