are you thinking of a printer with builtin networkcard... or a USB printer you want to attach to the router?

in case you are thinking about using the router as a printserver (connecting a printer to the router through a USB cable), would I not recommend it.
You would at least need also to connect a memorystick or a HDD to your router as CUPS needs a lot of memory for the print jobs.
