My printer is prompted to print this at the top of pages, usually from drawer #2 which is envelopes. I have an Epson WF-4740. The information on line indicates that this is an across the board problem. I have contacted Epson and they say it is a Microsoft problem. To date I have tried every suggested fix but nothing stops it. Extremely frustrating!!!!

I think I solved it with the suggestion from IDK47 19 August 23:
I have an Epson printer now, but HAD an HP before, which I had deleted. When I checked on what was running at startup (enter services.msc at RUN) there was an HP service running: HP Print Scan Doctor Service I disabled that after rightclicking on it and so far it seems to have done the trick. It's worth checking.
Someone fixed something but it wasn’t me. My problem just stopped occurring
Don’t know what happened but I’m grateful
Sorry I can’t share a fix
This worked! For 2 weeks now.
This worked for me too! I had done the schedule thing but with an update it came back. This makes so much sense. Renaming these files prevents the update from finding them and activating the schedule thing again. As you can see I am no expert and don't have the right words. I know it is scary to go into the command line. This was so much less scary for us non tech folks!
Same here, I recently bought the Epson ET-2800 and was getting the same printing on USB and I disconnected the cable and no printout.
