This is odd, but here is what I get (I sent the output to /tmp/out
rather than a real printer):
h4: {390} % lpr -Pn114rgb /tmp/one.ps
h4: {391} % cat /tmp/out
%!
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%% one page (i.e. - a page with a 1 on it)
%%/Times-Roman
/Courier
findfont 200 scalefont setfont
72 300 moveto
(1) show
showpage
^D
h4: {392} % lpr -Pn114rgb -Ztransparency /tmp/one.ps
h4: {393} % cat /tmp/out
%!
mark
{
4 dict begin
/MediaPosition null def
/MediaType (Transparency) def
/TraySwitch true def
/ManualFeed false def
currentdict end setpagedevice
} stopped cleartomark
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%% one page (i.e. - a page with a 1 on it)
%%/Times-Roman
/Courier
findfont 200 scalefont setfont
72 300 moveto

^D
Note that I got what I expected - the Transparency set.
h4: {399} % cp /dev/null /tmp/out
h4: {400} % lpr -Pn114rgb_transparency /tmp/one.ps
h4: {401} % cat /tmp/out
%!
%!
mark
{
4 dict begin
/MediaPosition null def
/MediaType (Transparency) def
/TraySwitch true def
/ManualFeed false def
currentdict end setpagedevice
} stopped cleartomark
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%% one page (i.e. - a page with a 1 on it)
%%/Times-Roman
/Courier
findfont 200 scalefont setfont
72 300 moveto

This is fine - we have the transparency set.
Note that the only difference that I can see is that you have
two %! at the start...
This is odd.
If you find the answer, I would be MOST interested.
