Just "security".

May I add: 1)the more stuff you have on a firewall, the more chances there may 
be an exploitable flaw, and 2)if routing is all it does, and it comes under a 
determined attack, you can always just power-down.

LEAF will run on any old piece of junk you've got lying around, and do well.  
Dedicate it to the job.  There is no reason to run a print server on a router, 
to do what?  Offer print services to the whole wide world?  Print services 
should always be inside the router/DMZ.  Routers are NOT servers.
