This is a home network that has both Linux and Windows machines. I 
purchased a TrendNet TE100-MP1U print server, which connects ot the 
printer via USB and to the network via an ethernet port. I assigned it 
the IP address of 192.168.1.107, and it is listening on port 9100. I can 
print to it from one of my Windows boxes just fine. I can ping the print 
server on 192.168.1.107, and it is definitely there. When I try to print 
from my Linux box using CUPS, it first says it is connecting to the 
server, and seems to do so successfully, then it gives an error message 
"Unable to write print data: Broken pipe"

Thank you,
