compatible printer

Hi,

In principle, the driverless AirPrint technology should work with systems as low as Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.

Printers supporting AirPrint are listed in About AirPrint - Apple Support.

However, a printer manufacturer may set higher system requirements, partly based upon extra software used for setup, ink management, and similar purposes. You would have to check whether the software in question is absolutely needed in the individual case. One should not rule out that a printer with a macOS 10.12 Sierra requirement in fact could be used with a lower version as well, at least with a manual setup (and without free ink or ink subscriptions, if applicable).

Are you thinking about a certain printer model?

Printer and scanner drivers for Mac - Apple Support

is an old page that lists the versions that were compatible. If you find a printer model go to the official site and see if the driver is still available, and then order that printer.

I also strongly suggest getting a printer that support AirPrint. At work, AirPrint has made using the company printers so much easier.

I have an AirPrint capable printer that is 12 years old, and it has worked will with every operating system up-to-and-including Monterey 12.4
