Before investing in the latest and greatest operating system from Microsoft and Apple, check to make sure that it will be compatible with every frequently used piece of software on your computer—especially printer drivers.
We have already learned that some printer drivers aren’t yet fully compatible with the recently released Snow Leopard OS for Mac. It’s also possible that older versions of commonly used printing and photo-editing software won’t be compatible either.
Before making the move to a new operating system, check the printer manufacturer’s website to make sure that updates are available. And do the same with the software that you rely on most often in your daily operations.
A good rule-of-thumb is to wait at least six months after a new operating system is released before making the switch. This will allow all the kinks to be worked out in different workflows and give software and hardware companies time to update their drivers and versions. It will also save you from having to spend valuable time on the phone with the customer support departments at various companies.
