Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I want to upgrade OSX 10.4.11 and am not sure what to download.

I need download a printer driver to my desk top and can't find one for as old of an operating system as I have (OSX 10.4.11). Can I find such a driver somewhere? Or do I need to upgrade my operating system? If so, how?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Have you checked with its manufacturer?


If you want to upgrade OS X the easiest and least expensive option would be to purchase Snow Leopard from Apple. The intervening OS X release, Leopard, is no longer available from Apple and is unreasonably expensive from aftermarket sources.


To purchase Snow Leopard online:


(US) http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

(UK) http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard


Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store


Apple's price is $19.99 or £14.00. It is not available to download from any legitimate source.


Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements


  • An Intel processor
  • An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
  • At least 1 GB of memory (RAM) (additional RAM is recommended)
  • A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
  • At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools


After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
