I've never encountered users printers causing a reboot to the server.  I
do notice a performance issue from time to time.  I'm not a huge fan of
it.  I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to turn off the
re-direction for certain users.  

For some users it is helpful, for others it is a hindrance.

Heather and Casey;
Have you ever encountered local printers (users printers) causing the
server
to reboot....??.... I have and had to turn off client printers and
client
printer mappings. Have you heard of a fix???
