I have a Lexmark 120n that I use on Tiger running Classic it works very well on most applications ,The only one that I have a problem with is Page Maker and an up grade of that I think would fix it.. The web site has some OS9 drivers. As for Panther it's good but Tiger is better just make sure to check for firmware updates before installation. Also max out the ram.
