Wireless USB printer sharing port?

Comment:

I have made a home wireless network [DI-624] and it has a firewall feature. I have a USB printer connected to my Me computer and it is shared. This computer is connected to the LAN port on my wireless router. To access the printer, I need to make a firewall rule with a port on which the USB printer is on. This port needs to be a number. How can I find out what port my printer should be on?

I think you are confusing wan tcp/ip ports which a firewall can close and local assess which it can not. Your firewall only effects between the wan port and the ethernet ports. It does not effect between ethernet ports.
