Slawek, thank you very much.

To solve the timing problem, can you

1. Print to a file with the free software drivers (SpliX, Foomatic/foo2qpdl, Foomatic/pxlcolor, ...) and then send these resulting files unfiltered the USB printer. If we have a free software driver which prints for you with the timing issue worked around, we can perhaps modify the driver, for example by writing the output into a temporary file and when it completes send all to the printer at once.

2. Run the command

sudo modprobe usblp

and then create a print queue with a driver which works with your printer and with the URI file:/dev/usb/lp0 Does this queue print reliably? If so, the problem is in the kernel or perhaps the USB CUPS backend. Run the command

sudo rmmod usblp

after this test.
