Then I printed using the Cura app running on my Mac connected to the printer via USB.
Ok, I gotta ask.....how did you install the software to get the printer to be recognized?
I tried two different version of Cura (3.x and 15.x) and neither one sees the printer. My system report shows "CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller" but that's it. Cura doesn't recognize that as a legitimate printer.

Cura opens fine for me (10.13.2) but will not recognize the printer at all.

Nevermind, I goofed on install process.

I have a freshly formatted drive and fresh install of MacOS 10.13.2 and when I attempt to install the cure dmg (Ultimaker Cura-3.1.0-Darwin.dmg) the install starts, the Cure icon bounces on the dock then it just closes with no errors and no install.
At a loss of what to do from here as I don't see any posted or site that address my scenario. Would love some help as I picked up this MacBook specifically to run the 3D printer.

Cura not seeing 101 Hero on MacBook Air

I have a 101 Hero 3D printer. It worked fine on my old Win 7 Laptop (till that started acting up....) then I saw that Cura would run on OS X. So, picked up a MacBook Air (10.13.2), installed the OSX VCP driver, and can see "CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller" show up when I plug the printer in but Cura can't see the printer.
I have tried Cura 3.1 and Cura 15.04.06 and neither recognize the connected printer.
I'm at a loss where to go to next. The USB port works fine with anything else.
Could reeeealy use some guidance on this.
