I have latest ghostscript installed: ghostscript-gpl-9.55.0-r1

When I try to view a postsript file from command line: gs W-9_Form.ps
It works OK, but when I try to open same file in Xfce desktop it opens and closes instantly.

I use hylafax + YajHFC
and when I try to open some files I get an error:

My guess would be that in XFCE, gs is successfully doing whatever
(showing, interpreting, ??) in a terminal window and then immediately
closing when done.

Have you tried a GUI such as Okular or Evince? They both support viewing
.ps files.

In Thunar, just right click on the file and choose "Open with >" and
either Okular or Evince if they are listed, or "Open with Other
Application ..." if they aren't. (But if they aren't listed, you might
have to install them, or a similar GUI viewer.)

I use hylafax + YajHFC and when I try to open some files I get an error:

I honestly have no idea about hylafax and YajHFC. Unless there is more
here than just trying to view a .ps file (or you are working in a very restricted environment), they are probably not the best tool.

Who suppose to be the owner of the file: /run/user/1000/dconf/user

-rw------- 1 root root 2 Dec 23 16:48 /run/user/1000/dconf/user

Shouldn't the owner be who ever has the uid of 1000? That is how it is
on my system.

It shouldnt be root, should be your current user. Looks like you've
run a GUI program as root in your current session maybe, which has
created a root-owned dconf/user.

Worth to note that I just upgraded my system.

Solved:
The new 'evince' package was installed without "postscript" support, enable it solved the problem with evince but hylafax viewer "YajHFC" still has a problem viewing PS files.
Before upgrade I was able to view PS files with evince.

Now I'm getting strange output:
