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

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&

HPIO trap monitor quit

I keep getting this error message. the computer asks me to either ignor, relauch or report. No matter what I do it continues to come up. Any recommendation. I just installed Leopard how did that effect this message coming in

Same happens here since I installed leopard, but only on the iMac, not on my powerbook. very strange and have not found any way to deal with it. Only thing currently to avoid this is to put the message somewhere where it doesn't disturb, no new message would come.
If you found a way to deal with it, please let me know - very keen to get this fixed.

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.

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.

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

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:

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.

How to scan with the HP Photosmart C4280

Hello from Austria,
have just installed the HP Photosmart C4280 by specifying "new printer" and selceting the printer type corectly.
I cannot print a test page and when pushing the scanning button on the printer the message comes up "USB not connected"; however I have connected the USB cable between Laptop and Printer.
Also, I cannot select scanner features when double-clicking the printer; I see only printer features,
how can I activate the scanning ?
Many thanks to the one who can help me, Werner

That's not an error message, but a message that the Hewlett Packard Input/Output Trap Monitor app crashed. I haven't seen any of those for over a year. Follow Barry's advice and update to 10.5.5 and then install the HP Printer Driver update http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/hpprinterdriver111.html

[Solved] First installation: HP Photosmart C4280 - Epson EPL-4200L

Hi,
this is my first post in the forum since two day ago have removed kubuntu and installed arch. Thanks the awesome wiki I was able to configure lvm, wireless, bluetooth, graphics, etc but have great problems configuring my two printers.
I have installed, as in wiki,
cups
ghostscript
gsfonts
gutenprint
foomatic-db
foomatic-db-engine
foomatic-db-nonfree
foomatic-filters
hplip
cups-pdf
have added cups to the DAEMONS array in rc.conf and my account to lp group and edited /etc/cups/cupsd.conf so now I have SystemGroup lp
**Epson EPL-4200L**
It's a laser print working on parallel port. Was not necessary add in rc.conf lp, parport, parport_pc modules since they are loaded automatically.
Obviously neither kde systemsetting printer applet nor cups web interface find my printer. Here some output of dmesg:
dmesg | egrep -i "parport|lp|epson"
lp: driver loaded but no devices found
parport_pc 00:06: reported by Plug and Play ACPI
parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [PCSPP,TRISTATE]
parport0: Printer, EPSON EPL-6200L
lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven)
**HP Photosmart C4280**
It's a combo (printer/scanner) connected through usb. In lsusb I have:
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 03f0:5c11 Hewlett-Packard PhotoSmart C4200 Printer series
I've blacklisted usblp in /etc/rc.conf and changed device node permission. Since:
ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/004
crw-rw----+ 1 root lp 189, 259 2 giu 20.12 /dev/bus/usb/003/004
have created /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbprinter.rules and inserted this:
#HP Photosmart C4280
ATTR{idVendor}=="03f0", ATTR{idProduct}=="5c11", MODE:="0660", GROUP:="lp"
LABEL="usbprinter_rules_end"
usbcore is already loaded so no need to insert it in rc.conf
Even this printer is unrecognized.
I have made an attempt using hp tools: with sudo have launched hp-setup and it finds the printer but clicking on "Printer test page" nothing appens; the same from hp-toolbox.
I need a very big help. Thanks
P.S. I have added my account to sudoers and disabled root: I don't know if this is important.

Solved! It was probably a permission problem; used to kubuntu I had added my account to sudoers and blocked root so during printer configuration i used my account/password as credentials; even if they are accepted there is a problem with sudo configuration that make it unusable with cups; so root account is necessary. Using root make other settings useless: inserting !usblp in rc.conf, modify device node permission. Adding own account to lp group is enough.
To use HP scanner add your account to scanner group and uncomment hpaio line in /etc/sane.d/dll.conf

HP PhotoSmart C4280 fix...

At least this worked for me.
Background: After I did an OS X 10.5.0 archive install on my Aluminum iMac 24", the PhotoSmart C4280 printer options would not allow me to change print quality, etc. Also, in Repair Permissions I would literally get hundreds of "Group differs..." relating to the C4280. I would have to uninstall the HP printer software, reboot, and reinstall it in order for full printer functions to work. And avoid Repair Permissions, which, if done, would require uninstall/reinstall again.
Neither the 10.5.1 or 10.5.2 update made a difference with these problems.
Nor did the HP driver 9.7.1 update. In fact, that driver did not list a C4200 series printer driver and did not install fully.
So, I fell back to "HPInstaller_PSC4200v9.7b.dmg" (which I don't see listed on HP's sight now), and the print quality, etc. was available again. However, I wrote to HP and told them I would be migrating to a printer brand that could figure out Leopard drivers.
Within two days, I had an answer: Install "HPv9.7InkjetOSX10.5Update.dmg", a patch available here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-56883-1 &lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3192753&os=219&lang=en
(follow the installation instructions)
So, I installed the patch. Then, I repaired permissions and got a bunch of "Group differs..." again. However, after another permissions repair, there were no more items relating to the C4280. None!
And all the options for the printer were still available to me.

Installing an HP Photosmart Premium C310

I am trying to install an HP Photosmart E printer C310 and I can get it to print the test photos and pages, and will print from a diagnostic tool, however i cannot get it to be my default printer (I have no others installed) and I can't print anything from my PC. I am totally baffled, I am running Windows 7 32-bit and have tried all the compatibility downloads. I have installed and uninstalled half a dozen times, I have downloaded from the HP site to be sure I had the latest software and still no luck. My windows diagnostic does not come up with anything. I am lost and hate this touch screen printer. Has anyone else run into this problem, I MUST get a printer on line immediately ... actually thinking of going out and buying some other type. Have had HP for a long long time though, I hate this new version. advise .... anyone!

Hi @tbatt42,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Photosmart Premium Printer 310 will not print black, and that you cannot install it on your Mac OS X. I am sorry to hear this, but I am happy to look into this for you!
May I ask the version of Mac OS X that you are using? If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
In the meantime, let's start with trying to get it to print black first. Please try the solutions within this guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart Premium e-All....
If you print a status report, do you see any black? To print a status report, please try the following:
Load plain white paper in the input tray.
On the product control panel, touch the Setup icon ().
Touch Tools.
Touch Printer Status Report. The product prints the report.
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

Problem connecting to router HP Photosmart e-All-in-One

Trying to install new HP Photosmart e-All-in-One. Printer will not connect to Router. I select wireless network, feed in password. Screen then says printer error and asks to be turned off. Code B8126AD6 flashes up for a short period. When feed in incorrect password will tell me incorrect, however, if correct password inputted always has a problem

I had a similar issue with my Officejet 7410 All In One Wireless and my new Linksys Router with WPA security.
Going through the Network Setup from the printer control panel finds the signal, allows me to enter the security code, accepts the code like all is well but upon pushing the enter button it goes back to the menu selection screen.
No message that it didn't connect, or that it was successful.
Changed the router's security settings to "Open" and the printer is now connected to the network.
Windows 7 and downloaded the full feature software.
OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
