HP Printer Monitor is a system utility from HP that displays printer status, ink levels, supply information, and alerts on the macOS menu bar. It provides at-a-glance visibility into connected HP printer health and consumables without needing to open a full application window. The tool is commonly used by home and office users to monitor print queue status, receive low-ink warnings, and manage supplies. It integrates with HP's broader printer management ecosystem and works alongside HP's print drivers.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of HP Printer Monitor has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still running an older Intel-only build under Rosetta will see better performance and lower power consumption on M-series Macs after updating. Update directly from HP's official support site to get the latest native-capable version. If your Mac does not automatically detect the native build, visit HP's driver download page and manually select your printer model to ensure you receive the Universal Binary version.
