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 have a Hp computer and an Epson printer I keep getting "GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1
Host : localhost"
I have done the step you suggested 5 times, but it won't fix the problem.
No. As far as I can tell Microsoft has done nothing. The problem is now almost 6 months old.
The ONLY thing that prevents this error for me is to turn my printer off after I've finished printing. That is if there will be more than 5 minutes between print jobs. If I have a series of print jobs, they go normally. The error only occurs if I've stopped printing for 5 or so minutes. Then my printer starts making noises and I know it has entered the error condition.
It appears to me that the O/S is not releasing the printer properly. In other words, the printer is waiting for a system notification to close out printing mode. It seems like the printer then queries the O/S but that link is gone and that lack of release puts the printer in error mode.
The printer never gets released to a normal state. Turning off the printer resolves whatever it is waiting for. Unfortunately, I forget sometimes and paper and ink get wasted. It is supremely annoying.
Did you ever get a solution. I have the problem too.
I'm in the same boat - didn't happen until recently. Using USB for Epson ET-4760. Have tried the 'fixes' to no avail. AARG!
We did 4 windows updates last night hoping it would fix the Epson printing problem GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP1.1 Host: localhost would go away. It did not. The same issue happened when we turned the printer on this morning.
