Did you use:
device,/close
after executing the commands to make the plot? That's needed to flush
the entire plot to the PS file.

You probably haven't called:
DEVICE, /CLOSE
before spooling the PS file to the printer, so the i/o buffer won't have
been flushed and the last several lines of the file won't be there.
You're actually luck to get anything, some print daemons swallow
unterminated postscript files.
