I have been printing to the Creality CR-10S Pro V2 from my old iMac using the supplied cable for several months now. However, recently I upgraded the iMac which does not have the USB-A port. I also upgraded the Cura software to 5.2.1 (previously it was 5.1). Of course I need a new cable. I bought an adapter which allows me to plug in the original cable. No Go. So I bought another cable with the USB-C to mini USB ports. Still no go. When I look at the printer settings in Cura and peek at the firmware upgrade option it says no printer is connected. So I’m at a loss to understand what’s wrong and how to fix it. I should also say that I switched to the direct drive which had a firmware modification so I don’t know if that’s confusing the software. It worked before so I don’t think so. Someone out there must have a newer Mac with a cable connection to the printer. Help!
