Your "lpstat -a" has
device for POS58: socket://192.168.1.100:9100
A socket connection is for a printer which is accessed over the network.
Your printer is not networked; it has a direct USB connection to the
computer. The device you have used is incorrect - which makes printing
impossible.
The device needs to be changed. One way is:
1. Reboot the computer with the printer attached and switched on.
2. Go to http://localhost:631 with your browser.
3. Go to "Administration". Is the printer found?
4. Proceed to install a print queue with the PPD in the zjiang directory.

I corrected this earlier to
cat TEST | nc 192.168.1.100 9100
But you will still not get any response from the printer as it turns out
your setup is not reasonable.
