Leopard will be Mac OS X 10.5.

Some Mac OS X applications and utilities will change. You'll gain  
widgets.

Of course not! It's based on an old SDK. It's interfaces are  
supported in Tiger and will be supported in Leopard – at least for  
some minor revision updates.

No. There is a chance that your printer is one of mentioned ones. Or  
your future printer will fall into this category ...

Then you'll have to buy a different printer or use the command line!  
Or you could go to the print shop at corner with an USB stick. And  
when this will fail, you could print there directly. And the paperboy  
(new service job class) would bring them to your home.
