Apple provides a table listing “Software restricted during installation and migration.”
Apple’s KB article explains, “After installation if you try to open (‘launch’) software known to quit unexpectedly, Snow Leopard will prevent the application from opening and you will receive a dialog notifying you of the incompatibility. If you see such a dialog on your Mac, use the table below, then check with the software vendor to see if any Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard-compatible updates are available.”

In addition, Apple has also published another KB article, “Mac OS X v10.6: Printer and scanner software” (HT3669) which “lists software provided for printers and scanners. This software can be installed from the Mac OS X Install DVD, and updated by using Software Update (some models have software available through Software Update only).”
“By default, Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard installs software supporting the printers currently used by your Mac (if available), nearby printers on your network, and popular printer and scanner models. If you click the Customize button while installing Mac OS X v10.6, you can choose to install software only for printers currently used by your Mac (de-select all Printer Support options, except for ‘Printers Used by This Mac’, or you can choose to install all of the printer and scanner software that is available from the Mac OS X Install DVD (select all Printer Support options, including ‘All Available Printers’).”
“To get software for printers that were not installed during the Mac OS X installation process, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, allow it to complete the process of ‘Checking for new software,’ and then connect your printer or add it using the Print & Fax pane of System Preferences. If software for your printer is available through Software Update, you will see a prompt asking if you would like to download and install this software. If you do not have access to the internet, you can insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and use Optional Installs to install the printer software available from the DVD.”
