Well, I can't guarantee that it's safe, but it's been working for me for a
couple weeks now.  I've got basically the same setup as you -- a few Macs
running System 7.0 and a few Mac IIcx/ci/fx's running A/UX 2.0.1.  All are
printing to an Apple LaserWriter via LocalTalk.  I dropped the System 7.0
printer drivers into the A/UX machines and have had no "reloading" problems
since.
