Strange left overs from a bug from a few years ago with com.hp.PSDrMonitorHelper

HP software force removed by a Apple bug a few years ago and I have not been able to get this fixed since then:


Jul 23 18:09:17 computername com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.hp.PSDrMonitorHelper[981]): LaunchServices returned a bundle URL that does not match with the LoginItem's known association.

Jul 23 18:09:17 computername com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.hp.PSDrMonitorHelper[981]): Service exited with abnormal code: 78

Jul 23 18:09:17 computername com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.hp.PSDrMonitorHelper): Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10 seconds.

Jul 23 18:09:27 computername com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.hp.PSDrMonitorHelper[986]): LaunchServices returned a bundle URL that does not match with the LoginItem's known association.

I have tried both sudo and non sudo to remove the non existent file from the launchd database and it seems to work but macOS bug (I think it was reported by someone about 3 years ago) adds back in the corruption to the launchd database.


HP Smart on macOS does not have that that I know of as it is just the Windows program running via WINE (also is the only way to access the printers web service as HP has failed to enable TLS 1.2 on the printer, which is not an old printer)


Anyone have any ideas how to get it removed a and stops the flooding of the system log with those messages.

Earlier Mac models
