The default gs driver is "inferno", which
generates compressed bitmaps as used
by Inferno.  (It has not been updated to
support true color.)  You are failing
because you haven't given it an output
file name and there is no default.

There is no equivalent to the X11 driver,
i.e. one that writes directly on the screen.
If anyone is interested in writing such a thing, I'd
be happy to lend assistance.

For previewing, ghostscript is most often
invoked indirectly through page(1):

	man -t man | lp -d600dpi | page
	man -t man | page
	man -P man
