Getting this message repeatedly on my Mid 2015 MacBook Pro - seemed to have started when I upgraded to Mojave 10.14.6
The message refers to: /Library/Printers/Lexmark/Utilities.localized/AppHostInfoUpdater.app/Contents/MacOS/AppHostInfoUpdater
But I have not had an Lexmark printers on the network for at least 5 years, and do not see this path in the library.
Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Hello woodsfortysix,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that you're repeatedly receiving an alert about AppHostInfoUpdater on your MacBook Pro. I'm happy to help.
If you haven't already, check and make sure all Lexmark software has been removed from your Mac. If the issue persists, test in safe mode. Starting in safe mode allows your Mac to run certain checks, remove caches, and prevent login items from automatically launching. This can isolate possible third party issues. Use the steps and information in the link below for assistance with safe mode:

If the issue persists, test in another user account. This will help determine if the issue is user specific or system wide.

Thanks for the recommendation about Safe Mode. When I started the MBP in Safe Mode, I saw the Lexmark folder under Preferences in the Library directory. Able to remove, restart, and it appears that the problem is solved!
Appreciate the assistance.
I experienced the same problem, seeing the "AppHostInfoUpdater quit unexpectedly" message repeatedly on macOS 10.14.6 on an iMac 18,2. Moving the /Library/Preferences/Printers/Lexmark folder to the trash fixed the problem. Thanks for the tip.
I was not able to restart the Mac in Safe Mode using the instructions in the link . Fortunately, I didn't need Safe Mode to see and get rid of the folder.
