Unplug the printer, reboot the computer and then boot back up and reattach the usb. See if it works then.
I don't see how you could mess up the printer by using a router though... Unless you were tyring to share the printer with another computer and made a mistake doing that..

Try going into the control panel and configuring it. See if you can get it to print a test page.
I have no clue what kind of printer you have but for me I go to start>control panel>printers and other hardware>printers> and then right click the printer and go to properties.

My printer is in my signature. ;)

So I uninstalled the software that came with the printer, unplugged everything, ccleaned the comp, etc. and then reinstalled-everything is working again. dont know what the problem was with that.
