When I upgraded from Windows ME to Windows XP Home Edition
I lost my "shared Printer port". I am now unable to print
through my wireless router to the printer. How do I get
the "shared printer port" back and/or can I create a new
one.

a) You kept the printer connected during the upgrade, you corrupted the
drivers... uninstall and reinstall.

b) Add a new network printer... use the Add Printer Wizard and browse for
the network printer.
