I'm not sure what your LPSTEXT command actually does but my guess is that
it sends a TEXT file to the LPS40's ANSI-symbiont (which treats the file
as any plain old text file and hence the printout of the PostScript
instructions).  

Since the file you generated is already a PostScript file, you should use 
the corresponding command (LPSPS maybe?) to send a PostScript file instead.
If all things fail, you can just use the print command directly:

    $ print/queue=<your LPS40 queue name>  file.name

You'll have to use the corresponding lpr command on Ultrix.
