HP Trap Monitor

What is HP Trap Monitor and do I need it? I have an Officejet 6500A and a Pro 8000, both on a wired network (The 6500a is wired only, the 8000 is wireless but I couldn't get it configured so just plugged it in). All Macs on the network (2) are running OS 10.6.8 with current drivers.
When I restart my MacBook Pro it tells me HP Trap Monitor does not have proper security settings to run.
Can I just delete it or move it out of the "Startup Items" folder?
Thanks

Creating SNMP Trap Monitors in 2012 R2

Hello,
For the past week or so I have been attempting to create a MP for my company's UPSs to be monitored in SCOM 2012 R2. I have created a custom MP with custom datasources and objects. All seems to go according to the plan until I attempt to create a SNMP
Trap monitor for those objects. I am able to verify that the device is discovered and is sending the traps successfully with a view. The problem seems to lie within the setup of the monitor. I have followed the steps as much as I can from this page http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh563870.aspx
to create a monitor that will be triggered by an incoming trap saying the UPS is on Battery Power.
This is the initial or trigger event information received by SCOM:

You may notice that these traps are being sent as SNMP v1. I am unable to change that on the UPS so i have modified the monitors to account for that. Here is the code for the monitor:

I tried the following things while attempting to troubleshoot this issue:
Leaving First
SnmpTrapProvider and Second
SnmpTrapProvider blank while creating the monitor.
Adding "" and also '' around the value as it is a string and perhaps that was the cause.
Changing the First and Second SNMPTrapProvider to .1.3.6.1.6.3.1.1.4.1.0 since that is the specific OID I am looking for the value of.
Reading every page of the internet and bashing my head on the keyboard.
I am guessing that the issue will reside in the the monitor creation and definition, but I have not found anything that clearly describes how to fill out the SNMP Trap Monitor wizard given the trap info. Especially since the trap I am receiving does
not seem to contain the usual OID with a common Int or string value. Hopefully someone can provide assistance as I am nearing my wits end with this problem.

Firstly, thank you Michael Skov, knowing that the First and Second SnmpTrapProvider or <FirstOIDProps> in the xml, needed to be blank got me pointed in the right direction. I figured I would come back and share my final working code snippet in case
others run across a similar issue.

Trap monitor?

I finally decided to install Leopard (successfully enough that I'm posting this from the computer I just installed it on), and got the error "Trap monitor unexpectedly quit" when the installation was done. I had walked away while it was installing, so don't know if anything else led up to this, but it kept reappearing after I clicked "relaunch" and only went away when I told it to ignore it. So, three related questions:
1) What IS a Trap monitor?
2) Is it something important, or just an accessory I can safely function without?
3) If it's important, how do I fix whatever it is that's crashing? (Or...If it's not important, can I just trash it so I stop getting this error, and where do I find it?)
I'll hold off on setting up Time Machine until I know if this is something that's going to require another installation so I don't lose my backup of my old files on the external drive. Hopefully this is something minor (keeping fingers crossed!)

First rule for using these forums is to search them. A search for *trap monitor* brings up http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5817251

When I turn on my computer I get the following error messages: Insecure Startup Item disabled. "Library/StartupItems/HP IO" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings. Also for HP Trap Monitor. How do I fix these?

I even followed the directions to move HP IO & HP Trap Monitor to the trash, run disk permissions repair, put back in folder, then restart - and still am getting error message.

Update your HP Printer drivers/software at their website or uninstall using the developers method.

The application HPIO trap monitor quit unexpectedly?/??

I just updated to Leopard and I repeatedly get the error message box that says "The application HPIO trap monitor quit unexpectedly" Then it gives me three choices..ignore which keeps it offf for a few minutes and then it pops back up, report, same thing and relaunch..it immediately comes back. Does anyone know what the HPIO trap monitor is and what I can do to stop this super annoying box from popping up ? btw Happy New Year

It's the startup item associated with an HP printer—HP input/output trap monitor. Your best bet is to reinstall the latest HP software available for your printer. I'm running an HP PSC 1510 AIO and the trap monitor daemon isn't crashing. Downloads at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=4 28800&os=219&lang=en&

HP Trap Monitor taking a lot of resources

I have a color laserjet 1312nfi. I looked at my activity monitor and noticed "Trap Monitor" taking about 350mb of memory. I killed it, launched some hp programs and printed again, but it hasn't come back. Does anyone know what Trap Monitor is and what I can do to prevent it from coming back in the future?

Hello the:
Direct answer to both of your questions - no. However, unless you are having some sort of performance problem, why do you care? You did not indicate why you were looking at the activity monitor (which should be, IMHO, used only when there is some sort of performance issue).

Attention: HPIO Trap Monitor wake issues on Leopard

Guys, I've never had any sleep issues with my Intel iMac before; but it seems like the latest 10.5 updates are NOT compatible with the HPIO Trap Monitor, which is part of the software package installed for HP all-in-one printers on Macs...
In 2 or 3 occasions during the last couple of months, I wasn't able to wake my iMac from sleep, having to resort to a hard reboot. It's nothing with 10.5.7, because this ALSO happened with 10.5.6.
After some analysis of console messages, I discovered the following:
Process: HPIO Trap Monitor [97]

My question: my printer works fine so far, but I am afraid this driver or specific process is not compatible anymore with Leopard...what happens if I erase it from my system? Thanks in advance!

Reinstall the latest HP software. I have no such crashes with my Photosmart 4280 AIO attached to my iMac. Version 2.6.0 runs without issues.

HPIO Trap Monitor nightmare . . .

Since upgrading my iMac to Leopard I keep getting a persistant box that says "The application HPIO Trap Monitor quit unexpectedly" (Ignore, Report, Relaunch). No matter what I do, 30 seconds later the box re-appears. I researched this a bit and found a "fix" which involves making some HP folder into an "app". This did not fix the problem. I've written to HP and Leo LaPort but have yet to receive a response. Does anyone have a real fix for this? Thanks!

Search. There are multiple threads here on this with suggestions, and I found an answer for the previous one with a Google search; it was the top result.

HPIO Trap Monitor

I keep getting a popup message that says, "The application HPIO Trap Monitor quit unexpectedly. "Mac OS X and other applications are not affected." I can't close it out. Should I delete this dialog from Finder to get rid of it? I don't want to delete my printer software by accident.

Aren't us HP printer owners lucky (and I got mine from an Apple Store)... I found the following on an Apple support site (see next to last paragraph). I don't know if this applies to our HPIO problem.
Labeled "Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard build 9A559," the new release came just hours after the Cupertino-based company issued two minor updates to the previous full-sized build (9A527), both of which were aimed at testing the system's automated Software Update mechanism.
Developers who successfully applied both of the automatic software updates saw their version of Leopard upgraded to build 9A528d. By contrast, Friday evening's release of build 9A559 was issued as a 6.5GB web download to all Apple Developer Connection members, whether they had installed the previous builds or not.
People familiar with the new release say it contains only two known issues and may be considered the first of several release candidates, the latter of which would eventually be declared Gold Master and shipped off for duplication and retail packaging.
Of the two known issues in build 9A559, one relating to archive installs appears to be the most critical. Those people familiar with the matter say archive installs from Tiger to Leopard may fail on some Power PC systems if the user attempts to preserve their user settings. To remedy this problem, Apple reportedly suggests that users perform an upgrade install, a clean install or opt out of preserving user settings.
The second known issue affects users who have HP printers connected to their system or are upgrading from a Tiger system with an HP printer that had previously been configured. Though Apple did not specify the root of the problem, it recommended that these users perform a custom install of Leopard and de-select the HP printer drivers in the installer. The proper drivers would be delivered via Software Update following the Leopard install, the company added.
With a self-imposed October launch timeframe quickly approaching, Apple would need to declare a build of Leopard Gold Master sometime in the next three weeks in order to meet the tail-end of that deadline.

What is HPIO Trap Monitor

"The application HPIO Trap Monitor quit unexpectedly."
I got this message over and over again. If I choose relaunch, the message appears again. If I choose Ignore, it shows up minutes later. What is it? And how do I get rid of it?

It's a Hewlett Packard thingy. Go here and read about it and it's problems: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1198099&start=0&tstart=0

Problem re-installing my HP photosmart C4280, HPIO Trap Monitor quits

I had my HP C4280 installed on my intel Mac and it worked fine. We moved and I did nothing more than disconnect it, when I set my Mac back up the printer wouldn't work. So, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it then right after the software installed I got a pop up box that read, the application HPIO Trap Monitor quit unexpectedly, I reported it to Apple and then I couldn't finish the installation process because when it says to choose your printer from the list, there is nothing on the list. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and get the same results. I would really appreciate any help you guys could give.
Thanks, Lee

Looking at the error message "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" , It appears hostname and port may be incorrect. Review the targets.xml under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\emd and
emoms.properties under E:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\SAP_solman_SDB\config folder to make sure host ( sap_solman) and port (1527) are correct.
As far as setting the environment variables goes, you can go to control panel -> system -> advanced -> environment variables and set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID
