Just about any printer with PCL5, PCL6, or Postscript language support will work with PPC machines. Since OS X 10.4 uses CUPS, all you need for them is the PPD file.
I have been working on the assumption that network printers, such as color laser printers support PCL and PS, while USB connected ink jet printers all use custom print drivers that must match the host machine.    So getting a modern (not super high end) ink jet printer that will work with a PPC computer will be extremely unlikely.   Please correct me if my assumption is wrong.
