You're missing the point; once these devices become compromised your internet activity is at risk, whether you have a router or not.

Poisoning DNS, routing tables, etc. This stuff is bad news.

I'll concur regarding the Samsung ML-2851ND. If you're only printing ~2000 pages per year, you won't need much more than this. This printer can be had for $150-$200 and a 5000-page toner is $100. These are great prices for a networked duplexing laser printer, and I like it better than the low-end HP offerings (2015, 2035, etc).

As much as I'd like to push out firefox for my users, I have many users in a domain environment with mapped applications directory; firefox is simply unmanageable in this environment.

Of all the improvements they are making in firefox, they are ignoring a potentially very large audience by not including some way to manage the browser in a corporate environment.

Not to mention Sharepoint integration, or lack thereof. This is a #1 sticking point for us.
