thats wrong.

We don't speak opening the internet router firewall, but the client 
station firewall.

I don't think we ever speak of detecting printers on the internet...

my ISP box have two interfaces: extenal (to the ISP server in the 
phone company building) and internal (my private network and the printer)

so it's only a security problem if you have a malicious gest at the 
time you configure the printer.

Be also aware that if you don"'t do this, the user simply drop 
completely the firewall during the config, wich is worst IMHO
