I don't know of a flush buffer routine..... but you could force a buffer
flush in a really naff way by printing a load of Xs or some other text.
But the buffer probably isn't the problem because I would have thought it
would print the whole string if it's printed any at-all.

Try using SIOCONS if you're using PSComUtil or visa-versa.

I've had problems with printfs in the past....and the only thing that seemed
to solve the problem was reducing the amount of text in printf statements
through-out my program (even, and especially, printfs that don't get
executed).
