ITS Printing Service compatibility
The current version of the ITS Printing Service software does not support Mac OS X 10.5, so users who upgrade their Mac operating systems will not be able to print remotely.
The vendor is working on a version compatible with Mac OS X 10.5, but it is unknown at this time when the software will be complete. ITS will continue to provide updates as they become available.
