Many 3D printers support printing over USB cable connection, by receiving and transmitting G-code commands and responses over a serial connection. In many cases you can get away with an FTDI driver that is available on most platforms. However, the Cocoon Create Touch uses a cheaper version of the chip that isn't supported, and needs to be tracked down and installed separately.

The CH340x Driver Information page of the 3D Printer Wiki has a variety of options for installing the CH340x drivers. Just be careful to install the correct ones, as the wrong drivers can cause problems and force your computer to reboot.
