Default Now Not Able to Print from My Host Computer

Both my host computer and routed computer are using Windows Vista Home Premium.

I've been having many problems trying to share my printer with my new,
routed computer on a wireless network connection. I believe I have correctly
set up printer sharing and my default printer on both computers.

Problem 1:
Today, I find that I'm not able to print from my host computer. When I check
"Printer Status," I'm told that the status can't be displayed with the port
currenlly being used. What should I do to correct this?

Problem 2: (Related to Printer Sharing)
I'm going through the Microsoft document, "File and Printer Sharing in
Windows Vista," again. I found a section, Common Questions with Windows Vista
File and Printer Sharing." I copied and pasted it here. This is related to
Windows Firewall:


"For network discovery of other computers running Windows Vista, you must
allow the following incoming Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User
Datagram Protocol (UDP) traffic:

UDP 3702

TCP 5357

TCP 5358"

OK, is this important for my being able to share my printer? If it is, how
do I "allow" "TCP" and "UDP"? The Microsoft document doesn't tell me.

Any help would of course be much appreciated.
