No, you shouldn't need anything on VM if the connection is coming direct from the VSE system to the printer. You would only need a PORT line if you are connecting to or from something on the VM system.
I'd say your firewall still isn't completely configured to allow your traffic. (BTW: HP's direct printing protocol isn't really standard; it's just ubiquitous as there are a lot of HP printers out there. IPP is "standard", but nothing on the mainframe except Linux does it yet.)
