Any issues re-installing 10.4 after upgrading?

Just upgraded my iMac from 10.4 to 10.6 only to find out that some of my printers have to use Apple Talk and the vendors don't offer upgraded PPDs anyway. So now I'm probably going to have to re-install 10.4.

Does anyone know if I'm going to run into any issues going backwards. Will my mail be screwed up... anything else?

G'day and welcome to the forums.

Why not buy a hard drive and mount it in an external case, and install Tiger on the external drive which will be bootable?

Using OS X.7 or later make a bootable USB thumb drive before running Installer!*
