Looks like it is reading the escape sequence as "Esc C !" (i.e. taking octal 041 to mean character ! - not decimal 33).
Time to get hold of the manual for your printer. The first thing to check is what mode the printer is in.
(My codes came from an Epson LQ850+ manual and were used in a live script to print awkward sized labels).
I have had terrible trouble with this subject in the past because Epson marketed some printer model variants which responded to non-Epson control codes. (e.g. IBM codes) while they were trying to get market share. You can only tell from the part number.
