I've had this installed since I first saw this hint, and it's worked perfectly, it's had a few updates and the most recent one added support for PostScript files as well, although I haven't tested to see if this includes EPS files as well, I don't have any EPS files on hand and can't find one in Google.

My guess is that it just converts the PS file to PDF first, rather like how Preview will create a temporary PDF file when you open PostScript files since this plug-in uses Mac OS X's built in PDF APIs.
