Problems with IPP

Hey all, I have a problem that I need some help with.
I have a "Hawking Tech" print server that supports IPP printing. The server is hooked up to a Brother HL-1440 laser printer. When I try to print using CUPS, the data light goes on for a brief second, the stops. From the Cups Status page, I get "waiting for job to complete" indefinitely.
What's really weird is that I just updated my debian system (including cups) and that's when everything stopped working. I'm not sure why.
I can still IPP print to this printer from Windows.
I decided to track down the problem farther using Ethereal to do some packet capture. On linux I get:
>> This is CUPS
POST /lpt2 HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 262
Content-Type: application/ipp
Host: 192.168.0.250
User-Agent: CUPS/1.2.1

But from windows, I get:

I am using Cups 1.2.1 on Debian. I can provide more information on my printers.conf, etc., if required.
Any help would be great,
