I haven't found a PostScript printer yet that requires the %! header --
but there's a lot of other software out there that can get between
your application and the printer in a network that does expect that
header to identify a file as PostScript. (This sometimes presents annoying
problems when you attempt to print out a PostScript file as ASCII).
