So your printer is behind the router, and the remote system you want to print with is not? Your remote computer will need to print to the router's IP address, not the printer's. Then you'll need to configure your router to forward your print protocol's port to your printer's local IP address. You should also give your printer a static local IP so the router always forwards to the right IP.
