I must confess I couldn't quite figure out what exactly
what KLaus Micheler was saying but here's a thought.
The %! is the "start of the postscript" flag. It is what
defines the beginning of a postscript program.
Furthermore since the book specifies that %! must be the first
two characters of a postscript program implies, to me at least,
that it must be the first two characters of a new line. So
saying I suspect the printer didn't see it because of the ^D
and therefore either flushed or printed the lines as text up to
the %!PS-Adobe-2.0.
I would suggest: try deleting the ^D and see if it works.
