Hi Robert, I beleive Szemir is right, this is not a port problem. What you want to do is set up a network printer. I believe that you may do this using yast but as I am not running Suse I can't be sure. This website may be helpful - http://www.sci.univr.it/intranet/stampanti/. You might have to use IPP printing instead of TCP. Also I not sure if "printer" is the proper queue name to use. The manual for the router should have the name of the queue to use.
