This may be a bit off topic but it does refer to IOS updates and compatability, which has delayed me from upgrading to El Capitan.
I've had no problems with AOO when updating my IOS Yosemite. However, I have had incompatibility with my Lexmark Printer everytime I do a minor upgrade. The software update corrupts my printer files, making my printer useless and has required me to pay tech support from LEXMARK. I'm not sure if this is an AOO issue or IOS or select printer issue. I find that in the past several months, whenever I make minor updates on my mac IOS, it corrupts my Lexmark printer files which makes my laptop unable to communicate with printer. I have tech support available by phone and with permission, they can access my files and input from my computer, but I'm not comfortable doing that all the time. The tech help is also very expensive. Lexmark support seems to indicate I wouldn't be able to delete and upload new printer files on my own. The techies sometimes having difficulty themselves, as I witness the swirls of cursor movement and clicked icons. I realize Lexmark is no longer manufacturing printers and at the moment am dependent on their expensive tech support ($119 for 3 events), each time I update or upgrade my IOS. Question, does anyone know of how to delete and install printer files in a simple way so I can do this myself? It was a simple process when I had an HP printer, using AOO. Otherwise, this is a great printer with many features that I use and would prefer to not get a new printer. Until then I hesitate to make any updates, especially to El Capitan.
