Start with a backup.

Fix any problems on your Mac prior to the upgrade. Doing an upgrade with problems only tends to make them worst.

Many printers are not fully supported under El Capitan. Check with your printer vendor, as Apple has not yet gotten updates from all the vendors. See my tip:

And my FAQ*:

Image Capture may no longer support certain scanners either. Agreed with backing up.
