Remote Unix printing to my WinXP works with no router. How can I make it work through my router?

I set up remote printing on a clients Unix server to my Windows XP USB printer. My USB printer is connected directly to my PC (no print server and no network input on printer). With my Win XP PC connected to my cable modem (without the router), i can do
lp -dhp842c /etc/hosts and it prints. I can even print through clients software to my printer.

Now, if I re-connect my linksys router to my PC (which is the proper configuration here), I cannot get it to print. I am using the IP address (ipconfig -all) for both scenarios since it changes when I change my setup.. so I know that is not the problem.

Do I need to make changes to my router? Forward a port?
Can this be done without a print server?

TIA,
Jmh
