Applications Compatibility (2)
El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information
macOS Sierra 10.12: Compatible Apps
Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.

If you're having trouble getting the App Store to work, you may need this update for improved App Store compatibility with Snow Leopard.
The current version of OS X is now macOS Sierra, which has just been released. It might be advisable to visit the Sierra Community before upgrading. I just did and there are at least 10 pages of posts just for today dealing mostly with user problems.
