If you only upgrade the first CD, you don't get printers (I learned
this, too). You need to pop in the second disk an install the printer
drivers. Then you're good to go.

Yeah, but...

There is also the issue that most printer manufactures want to sell you 
new printers -- consequently they don't provide CUPS drivers for many 
printers that still work quite serviceably in OS 9.
Gimp-print is a help for some main stream printers, but not that many, 
and no help at all for any multi-function device.
But then again, printers are dirt cheap these days. For 100ドル bucks 
today, you can get one that prints circles around the 500ドル models of 
just 2 years ago!
