GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1The question is how do I stop it.

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.

    You're welcome. I did test it a few times by powering down my printer and then powering it on. I'll see if it works tomorrow morning, though. LOL.

    Thank you!

    First time I have seen this one.

    I have unselected them and will see if that cancels the issues.

    My printer is a Lexmark brand. This fixed it for me...(from geekpage site)

    Fix 4 – Uncheck the information notifications for printers

    Actually, when local printers are showing the notifications, this incurs the eSCL error.

    Step 1 – Type “printer” after pressing the Windows key.

    Step 2 – Then, tap “Printers & scanners” to open that.

    Step 3 – Then, scroll down to the end on the right-hand pane. Tap “Print server properties“.

    Step 4 – Make sure to head on to the “Advanced” tab.

    Step 5 – Then, make sure to uncheck these two options –

    Show informational notifications for local printers

    Show informational notifications for network printers

    Step 6 – Save the settings. Tap “Apply” and “OK“.

    Try to print a test page now and test. You won’t see the “Get/eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost” error message in the printer page.

    HarveyBenjamin, scroll back through other suggestions. this exact same suggestion is offered at least once a week by others and does not work. The only constant that has worked is unplugging the USB cable which, for one reason or another, is not a work around for the majority of us on here.
