Print Spooler Port Numbers

[Guest]

Howdy!
My direct-connect internet-based printer has decided that it's going to work
slowly. It takes anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes for it to start
printing after my print spooler icon disappears from my task tray. Recently,
I upgraded the firmware of my wireless router and am thinking that, somehow
or another, it's port forwarding utilities slowed down because of the FW
upgrade. Could anyone tell me what ports I need to forward to my printer's
IP address (if they exist)? I've looked all over Microsoft and haven't been
able to find it. Thanks!
P.S. This whole thing is just a weird hunch of mine, so please correct me if
I'm way off.

If your printer prints (just slow) then it is not a problem with you
firewalls port forwarding.

Else, please be more specific, on how you connect your printer, what printer
model, drivers....
