Hi. I am using a Mac Pro (early 2009) with various upgrades including a Solid State SATA drive that means it is working well. However the one thing I can no longer upgrade is the OS. I'm stuck on El Capitan version 10.11.6. My HP Officejet printer H470 will no longer work as I cannot download a new driver for this system. How do I check a new printer won't have the same issues?
Try adding the printer using the Open Source toggle.
When you add the printer, and it is wired to the computer, and turned on, hold the Option key when you click on the + sign in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Printers
If it doesn't appear, and hp.com/support doesn't have drivers for your operating system, you are going to need to find a comparable printer that does.
