Repertier Server killed USB connection for Repetier HOST
I am having connection problems with my iMac and my Anet A8 3D printer. I finally got it to run via USB - though unable to upload to SD card - which may just be an Anet issue.
A suggestion in another post was to try the server and check if it make a difference. It does... because Repertier Server killed USB connection for Repetier HOST!
Can anybody advise how I get rid of the server and its affects of the host?
Try to connect and error is - 9:23:34 am: Couldn't open port for device wchusbserialfa120
Advise please...

Checked System Report > USB - not listed there.
Did terminal - no driver listed - check this.

So I have no idea what to try next.... does anybody have this problem?? All was OK until I installed Server!
No matter what I do - when install CH341 and CH34x v1.3 - the run the install process and the pop up says Successful.... but they do not show in Host and a terminal check shows they are not installed as does a System Report.
Am I the only person on the planet using an Apple OS 10.12..4 Sierra iMac that has this problem.
I have a mini Mac and on that one -- I cannot use Repetier because what prints OK from SD card - does not work using Host -because when it runs - its starts printing about 20mm above the hotbed!
The problem is that the firmware on Anet motherboard - does not use a real USB connection.
After some information passed from a forum - I downloaded - "http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.aspx?p_id=229&pcid=41 " Its a USB - Serial bridge. I rean the application.... when it finished - restarted the computer, opened HOST and check the printer settings. Selected the driver and then set up a print controlled from computer via USB cable... all is well and my world is a better place!!
Thanks to all who tried to find a solution.
