Is the hardware buffer in the printer, a larger buffer than the job may not show problems. 
In a POS printing a invoice is a small job 1K-2K, a older printer with a small buffer (Star SP200 1K buffer)
 will see problems a newer printer with a large buffer (epson TM-U220 4K)
 seems to work must of the time, so to test I disable the hardware buffer, 
i tried do change the bios settings (normal, epp etc) and the parport options (irq=none, dma=none etc) to no avail, 
and the problem shows even in a vmware guest.
