That isn't very clear from your description. If you have a shell account
at your ISP, at work or whatever -- as long as it's outside your firewall
-- try telnetting to your ssh server port 22 from there. Or use a web-based
port scanner ( http://grc.com , http://crypto.yashy.com ) and see if port
22 is open.

If it's not the firewall, check hosts.allow/hosts.deny (assuming your ssh
is compiled with tcp-wrappers), xinetd.conf if you're running xinet...
I'll need more details to give you a better answer.

I'm going to exit now since you don't want me to replace the printcap. If you
change your mind later, run
-- magicfilter config script
