Keep a external USB drive around with multiple OS's on it, and make sure one of 
them has the older XCode and the setup necessary. For the ages.

The last version that has the printing thing intact doesn't have the GREAT bug 
fixes and features the later ones have.

This is the lament of the "no longer support older OS's" crowd. The last build 
that supports the older OS has certain problems and the company shuts the door 
FOREVER prematurely. As for the Stamps.com app, they SHOULD have known about 
that bug - I did report it and they had plenty of time to fix it. It's not a 
showstopper, but it's sure an inconvenience. If I have say 24 international 
packages to send out, I have to print 12 pages, then print the same pages again 
(with the last 12 package stickers) on the bottom. Not only is it inconvenient, 
it can be problematic with printers because often with used paper they misfeed 
- they you're really up a creek. What should have taken 20 seconds now takes 10 
minutes.

I don't see any reason why a company has to "last version for the OS/arch" like 
FOREVER no exceptions. Keeping a simple build system around is completely 
doable, even for a single-person op like yours.
