On OS X I get ls: /dev/cu.usb*: No such file or directory
If you get "ls: /dev/cu.usb*: No such file or directory" when trying to find the USB address on OS X then you do not have the OpenSprints hardware connected. Connect the OpenSprints hardware and type,
ls: /dev/cu.usb*
You will get something similar to this...
/dev/cu.usbserial-A6008jFy
