The Epson 740 on the iMac works fine under OSX, and I print to my trusty
IIg (upgraded from a IIntx) just fine. 

I still keep Classic, because I am still running Eudora 3.something,
although the xyl just went to using the Mail program that comes with OSX
because Eudora crashed, wiping out her inbox. And I still sometimes run
Netscape or IE under Classic, because they run faster than the OSX
versions, sad but true. 

Plus I have older Classic versions of some apps like BBEdit and Anarchie
that I use. I did recently download Snak (IRC client) to replace Ircle,
and like it a lot, plus it is Carbon and not Classic, so I registered it
and dumped Ircle. 

But I don't think I'll be giving up Classic any time soon. If for no
other reason than the OSX version of Spaceward Ho! isn't out yet! <g>
