Hi! I am upgrading to OS 10.2.3 . Do I need to upgrade my peripherals drivers (printers, cd burner, zip drives etc ) to OS X compatible drivers? Thanks for you help!

Your CD burner will most likely work but I would check on apples website for the exact model number of CD Burner that you have. The model number is on the Drive itself or you can go into the Apple System Profiler and select the Devices tab and it should tell you the model number there.
The zip drive is no problem at all
and your printer might be the same as the CD burner. Apple has put a lot of drivers in the newer OS's but I dont know which kind you have. You can also check the website of the maker of the Printer and CD Burner.
One last thing,
I would reccomend that you upgradr to 10.2.6 its free from Apple and any update will have better performance than any previous version.
