HP Recommended
Product: HP Officejet 6700 Premium
Operating System: macOS 10.15 Catalina
My Activity Monitor is showing HP Device Monitor Constantly Taking 70% of my CPU which is making my system very laggy and causing issues with reponsiveness of other programs.  
 
I've referenced https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/HP-Device-Monitor-Constantly-Taking-70-88-of-CPU/td-..., but it is not resolving the issue.  I've completely reset, then uninstalled and reinstalled the HP Easy Start app, but the issue remains.   

 

PLEASE HELP!  I can't run this printer and a zoom meeting at the same time.  

 

Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1 (Catalina)

RAM: 32GB

Internet Connectivity: WiFi connected

Printer also connected via USB cable
