Since Photos is now part of the system you'll have to upgrade you system to Mojave in order to get the latest version of Photos, 4.0.


However, Apple has discontinue4d it's print services as of Oct. 1 of this year. This user tip describes the print options that are currently offered: Post 9/30/2018 Printing Options for Photos. These options let you select images in Photos and send them to the provider.


One can also order prints online from some of the many online photofinishers like Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club, Walgreen, Shutterfly, Snap Fish, CVS, etc. These can be done with your current Photos library but the photos have to be exported to a folder on the Desktop and uploaded to the provider's site.
