Though this file is definitely related to software installed with a Hewlett-Packard peripheral, it is difficult to determine the exact usefulness of this file. One article on Deja.com suggests that it is related to the ink status monitoring for an HP PhotoSmart printer.

Thanks for the info. I do, in fact, have an HP P1000 USB printer, so I guess that's it. I'll try working without it and see what happens.

Cheers!
