how can I use the printer and scanner? There are no OS X drivers for them.
Most older Epson printers can still be used under OS X by installing Gimp-print and Ghostscript software, available here:
<http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3>
Many SCSI scanners can be controlled by installing Vue-Scan software. Check here for supported scanner models:

I've seen Lombards selling in the $300-$500 range - keep an eye out on the LowEndMac swap list here:
<http://lowendmac.com/lists/swap.html>
The Lombard is the last PowerBook model to include a built-in SCSI port. I've heard reports of varying success (mostly failure) using USB-SCSI adapters with newer machines.
Hope this helps.
