Can you verify that something is, indeed, listening on that address?

#  telnet 192.168.254.60 9100

(Don't worry that it's not expecting a telnet connection.  This is just the 
simplest way I can think of to test that something is listening on a given 
port.)

If you get an error connecting, then that's the problem -- either you have 
the wrong IP or port number, or the printer doesn't support that type of 
connection.

If it does connect, you can exit with "ctrl-]" (control right-bracket) to 
get the telnet prompt, and then "quit".
