<div class="moz-cite-prefix">What type of pc? Windows?<br>

Often this is just drivers.<br>
<br>
What does device manager have to say? <br>
Ie when you plug it in, then it appears in device manager, does it
give any errors?<br>
<br>
most commonly you need either FTDI virtual com port drivers

or if its a really cheap board it comes with CH340 and needs these
drivers <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html">https://sparks.gogo.co.nz/ch340.html</a><br>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I have an Anet A8 -M 3D
printer for Christmas and it has been assembled quite easily.
My problem is that I can't get it to communicate with my
laptop. The printer seems to be assembled OK and will do
things like home and heat the bed and extruders. It seem to
work with the SD card. I took it to work and the engineer
couldn't get it to connect but it worked when he connected it
to his PC which he uses to run Repitier Host.
