Topic: two Macs - one can see printer, one can't
Successfully printed to my new Press from a 15" Macbook Pro Retina running Yosemite, but I'd really rather dedicate an older Mac Pro (tower). The Mac Pro is an old 2006 running Lion (10.7). Fresh install. Everything updated. It's a killer computer, perfect as a file server and print server, but can't update beyond 10.7 (it's Rev A of the firmware, a first-gen Mac Pro).
All the software for the Press successfully installed (Soliprint, Repetier-Host, etc) but none of it can "see" the printer.
If I unplug the printer and plug it into the Macbook Pro Retina, it works, so I know the issue is with the Mac Pro.
I think the OS should be enough (10.7) so I'm thinking it's a problem with the USB bus.
Does the Press require USB 2 or 3? Pretty sure the ol' Mac Pro is USB 1.1.
Appreciate any thoughts,
Mike C.
UPDATE - I checked the specs on the Mac Pro and it looks like all the USB ports are USB 2, so either it's a software issue or the Press requires USB 3?
