Hello Lindenbaum,
I've just got rid of it by:
- Using Finder to go to "Library/LaunchAgents" and moving the most recently added and suspicious looking file to the bin.
- Did the same here "Library/LaunchDemons"
- And here "~Library/LaunchAgents"
- I also went to "Applications" and sorted by most recently added to see if anything suspicious has been added, and removed that.
- Then I restarted my Mac and it's fixed!
Good luck!

Same problem as others....how to eliminate the HPDeviceMonitoring message that continuously pops up! Very, very annoying.
Did you recently update your mac? Mine did late last night and all of a sudden today I get this annoying pop up.
Interesting, I have no such file (com.hp.devicemonitor.plist) in either ~/Library/LaunchAgents or Library/LaunchDaemons
I followed this advice. It did NOT resolve the problem
Check also /Library/LaunchAgents without the tilde at the beginning.
I followed your advice but there files your referred were not there so I could not delete them
My most recent file was also com.adobe.fpsaud.plist in September. I deleted it but it hasn't helped
Oh by the way, I do not have a printer, so the printer can not be the problem for me.
Here is an explanation:

Despite removing com.hp.devicemonitor.plist, the problem returned after switching users. The search for a solution continues.
Thanks, Rolaa!!!!! Trashing com.hp.devicemonitor.plist solved the problem.
Just guessing, but maybe you need to repeat the process while signed in as the other user.
So since last nights update, I get this annoying popup and now my printer doesnt work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Deleted - repeat answer - sorry
