Q: whenever I plugged in HP laserjet M1132 printer usb to my Macbook air,a screen pop-out "the disk inserted are not readable by this computer".I uninstalled
Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

The Mac may be reading the printer as an external hard drive that it can't read. See if repairing the Disk Permissions will correct the problem. Open Finder. Select Apps. Search for Disk Utility and open it. Select the drive the OS is installed on. Click Repair Disk Permissions. Try installing the printer now. Let me know what happens.
I am a printer tech for HP.
