is there any way to be able to view it,with the task of saving it in a common format? eg .doc, .jpeg, .tif etc so that i can transport it across print drivers?
The file should be a postscript file (if your printer was postscript compatible, most are I think). Rename the file to have a .ps extension, then download Ghostscript and GSView from here: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
Hopefully you should be able to view your file in GSView, and you can use GhostScript to convert to pdf (bit complicated).
