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.
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.

First time I have seen this one.
I have unselected them and will see if that cancels the issues.

2023-12-14T19:15:10+00:00 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.

2023-12-11T16:08:13+00:00 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.
