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!!!!
End.

2024-05-03T14:04:03+00:00 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 -

2024-05-02T14:00:02+00:00 I have 2x Dell E525w's connected through USB's to two separate PC's and one of them is printing out a sheet of paper with two lines of text stating:
GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
It prints very regularly.
The other PC is working correctly with the printer. Both PC's are running Windows 10 Business. I have tried all of the above recommendations and the problem still persists on the 1 PC. Does anyone have a solution?

2024-05-02T09:27:01+00:00 None of the suggestions work for me and at my wits end. HP Tower and Lexmark MC3326 Printer which uses USB connection.
Tower and Printer came with Windows 10 and the Scan runs under the installed Microsoft software NOT the printer system.
It worked perfectly with Windows 10 and the issue only happened when I was moved to Windows 11 - with nothing else changed.
It seemed to stop for a while an an upgrade but is back now and I have a substantial stack of printouts that simply waste paper and causes increasing concern - as we are all told to reduce the use of paper to help the planet.
Given it never happened under Windows 10 with exactly the same system and Scan software it MUST be a Microsoft 11 issue and MUST be addressed by Microsoft. Or don't they concern them selves about ecological responsibilities!!!!!!!!
