I'm glad I'm not the only one going crazy with these messages. I just turned off the HP status monitoring for the printer on my Mac and now I don't get the messages anymore.
Excuse my ignorance as a new z3100 owner, but _how_ do you turn of "HP Status Monitoring"? A search of the user guide does not turn up "status monitor" or "status monitoring", nor does a round of poking through all of the obvious options in the HP Printer Utility. I too have been getting that message and it's driving me nuts!
BTW, I'm a new forum member, but not new to reading LL - it's informed several of my purchase decisions over the years, including leaving Epson behind (I'm a long-suffering former 4000 owner) and giving HP a whirl. Things to relearn/unlearn, but initial print results look promising...
thanks -
Chris
