HP Device manager Using up CPU%

[NYCMAC]

As I write this 81.8% of my CPU is being used by HP Device Manager. No printer related functions are in progress. Removing HP software via Uninstall clears up the issue and my Mac returns to full speed. No other suggestions read here have any effect.

@NYCMAC, Welcome to HP Support Community!

HP Software once removed, have you tried using the AirPrint drivers instead of reinstalling the software again? If no, follow the steps below-

ensure that the printer is up to date with its firmware and Mac is up to date with its software. If you are unsure you may use the links below to update the printer firmware and Mac software:

Update printer firmware

Update software on Mac 

Remove and add the printer

Click the Apple menu, and then select System Preferences.

Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.

Click the name of your printer, click the Minus sign, and then delete the printer.

Click the Plus sign, and then click Add Printer or Scanner.

Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select AirPrint

Click Add to add the printer to the list.

Try to print.
