It sound as if the whole job is being dumped to the printer, the printer saves the beginning part and prints it, but the rest is lost, including the ending linefeed. So, it sounds like you need to enable flow-control. Sorry, not familiar enough with FreeBSD in this area, so I don't know whether you need to tweak something on the FreeBSD end or the printer end, but I'd bet if you get flow-control enabled, it would work for you...
