PS file created with AdobePS looks like plain text file

I created a "virtual" PS printer using the default PPD inlcuded in the universal installer on a Win98 machine. This virtual printer sends its output to a file port.
The problem is that the generated output file is not a valid PS. The contents of the first lines of the file are:

@
CB

T
W0
H
5
P
BON PREU S.A. //Here starts the text that was printed
...
...

Any idea why is this happening? Thanks in advance

In the Printers Control Panel do right click, Properties; Click the
About button (perhaps under the Paper tab).  What information, in
full, is shown in the driver about box?

Don't use the default PPD. Take e. g. the Apple Laserwriter Select 360
and print to file.
