Connectivity Kit + Mac not working

[BruceH]

I can't tell you what's wrong with your configuration but the following worked for me.

1) Started HP Connectivity Kit

2) Answered "Allow" to "Allow access to files and folders" prompt. (I think this only came up because this was the first time I had run the Connectivity Kit since the last OS update.)

3) Plugged in a no-name, bought from eBay, USB-C to USB-A (female) adapter cable.

4) Plugged in a standard USB-A to micro-USB cable (ex Nokia)

5) Plugged the micro-USB end into the Prime (while it was switched on)

6) Answered "Allow" to "Allow accessory to connect" prompt

The G2 Prime then appears in the HP Connectivity Kit display.

That's it.

Version info:

HP Connectivity Kit = Build 2.1.14425 (2020 1 16)

Mac = MacBook Air M1 2020, macOS Ventura 13.2.1

Edit: should have added but I don't think it matters: Connectivity kit preferences: everything ticked - so IP networking, mDNS, multibroadcast with wireless 1, 2 & 3 Automatic Selection ticked with default SSIDs.
