Do you see a list of page numbers? If not, then your document is
probably not structured into pages (e.g. there are no document
structuring comments). In this case it's not possible for gv (or
any other program) to paginate your document without first
"executing" it.

It's possible that there is a garbage character at the start of
the file that is preventing gv from recognizing the structuring
or maybe it was generated by some mutant program that doesn't
generate the structuring comments.

You can have Ghostscript process your file to re-insert the page
break comments using either "ps2pdf" or "ps2epsi" (they come with
recent versions of Ghostscript) and then view/print that.
