[cups.general] [Q] What might cause Windows to Mac OS Epson printing to just give up?

I am trying to print to an Epson Stylus C88 from Windows XP to a Mac 
running OS 10.4.11. The job never prints. The Mac itself prints fine 
to this printer. The Windows box has printed to this Epson before 
when it was connected directly. All other networking connectivity 
from the Windows box are in working order. The Windows box is using a 
standard Stylus C88 driver. Below is a portion of the cups debug2 
log, starting with its being started. The job is then sent and by the 
end, the XP box seems to think there was a communication error and 
gives up.
