Max,

A couple of links from having this problem a few months ago. Bottom line: you may need a
driver to make your Mac's USB appear to be a serial port. I had it working on Mac
10.6.8.

I can confirm that my USB port has been configured to be a serial port with this software:

In case you need it:

When you get this figured out, would you help get this info on the wiki please?

 I'm down here at sudoroom trying to get the printer to connect to
 Pronterface on my Mac but I can't get it working. The printer PC is
 currently occupied by someone doing email. Has anyone done it on a Mac yet?
 Maybe Mac OS 10.7 is incompatible or something.
