Printing from Photos using macOS10.12.6

On my older (mid-2011) iMac running osMac 10.12.6, I've created a calendar in Apple Photos and wish to have it printed and shipped to me. However, Apple tells me I can't without upgrading my OS to High Sierra (10.13). For compatibility reasons with other programs / Apps I use regularly, I do NOT want to upgrade to 10.13. How can I continue to print a calendar or photobook from Photos (version 2.0) without upgrading to 10.13? Are there existing 3rd party extensions available for Photos, or other applications that will accept Photos projects such as calendars that will allow me to do that?

Apple is no longer offering printing.


Here are your printing options:

I don't know off-hand if any of these options are compatible with older releases. Based on a quick look at Motif—Motif is associated with the folks that had been providing printing services for Apple—macOS 10.13 is required, and the Apple folks that indicated that an upgrade was required were correct.


If you really need to run older software, consider installing and using a virtual machine, and booting the older macOS release as a guest. This if there are no upgrades or alternatives available for the software in your configuration that is incompatible with High Sierra. Mojave doesn't support an iMac from 2011, so that's not an option here.
