1. Don't understand how the overall drive memory footprint is higher. In the sense that you now have two files, yes it is. But compared to having the image embedded, there is very little memory gain.  2. I'm getting a preview in AI 9 & 10 with a linked PS image. That is to say, I can see a thumbnail when viewed from Win Explorer and from the 'Open' dialog box in AI. 3. Not sure why your linked images aren't printing, they should. 

I primarily uselinked images when I want to A. update the file with a changing image without having to reimport it all the time; B. when AI is the final file supplied to a service bureau and they want to have the image separate from the working document. 

I use embedded images when I know I don't have to have access to the embedded image at a later date and I want to keep it all in one place. 

But that's just me, sure there are more reasons...
