You didn't say how the printer is accessed by the computer.

The printer is networked. A JetDirect or another type of device?

printer POS58 is idle. enabled since Fri 05 Sep 2014 12:21:27 AM EDT
It is also enabled and ready to print.

This is the final filter after cups has processed the job. I expect it
is a proprietary one. If it is at fault there is little to be done about
it.

This directory probably contains the PPD file supplied by the printer
manufacturer. It should be identical to /etc/cups/ppd/POS58.ppd.

As above.
The setup seems very reasonable. Do you get any life out of the printer
with
cat TEST | nc 192.168.7.100 9100 ?
TEST is a file containing just the word "Hello". The command sends it
directly to the printer.
