I have an Epson 4730 printer at work. I have gone through about 2 reams of paper over the past 3 months with this problem. This solution has worked for a week now. THANK YOU!!!!!! It appears that, no matter what printer or computer you have, somehow this HP printer setting gets turned on and the new update to Windows 11 makes it do this. I am no expert, but that is my view!! So no matter what you have, try this. I found the 2 spots with these directions, and once both were turned off, the problem has gone away. Yey!
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.

2024-02-23T23:45:04+00:00 I have an EPSON WF-7840 and I cannot fix Windows 11 stupid problem it created when it updated. Only MS would be this stupid and not provide exact instructions on how to fix my machine. It worked before the update and I would like to think I have followed the instructions provided by this thread. Still not working. please help.

Hello Steve Bump
Welcome to Microsoft Community.
I can provide two steps for you to follow to put your computer to sleep mode again, and wake it up and see if it will print again (we recommend repeating this twice to make sure it is completely gone)
- Win+R and type services.msc, find "print spooler" in the list of services, right click on it - properties, set the startup type to "Automatic", then click OK to close it.
- WIN + S search control panel, open the device and printer, select printer properties - device settings - installable options, disable the "printer status notification", for different brands of printers and driver versions of this portal interface may be different.
if you can not find the portal, you need to contact the manufacturer of the brand to obtain the portal, only need to follow up to confirm that you can find Just make sure that you can find the "Printer Status Notification" function and disable it.
If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
