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

I think there might be one more snag. Microsoft seemed to fix the problem partially with an update in July. It was great for about 2 weeks and then the next update "broke" the fix. At this point, I have to turn off my printer after I finish printing and there will be a time lapse before I print again.

From my experience, it has two remaining problems:

1. VPN connection might be a fundamental issue. I had a ransomware attack a few months ago. I fixed everything, including reformatting my hard drive and replacing my modem with a 39 character password! On top of that, I use Bitdefender (terrific software, btw) and their VPN that places me in the US so that anytime I'm on the web, I can't be hacked.
2. When my pc goes to "sleep", i.e., when the screen saver turns on and then the pc display goes black, the error message is generated.

I am going to test not activating the VPN and see if that clears the error message. Not my cup of tea because throughout the day I bounce back between the web and local work. Bitdefender seems to be catching suspicious links - msedge is one of the biggest! - but I am not particularly comfortable with that. If it means activating and de-activating the VPN, then it's a pain but I won't be wasting all that paper and ink.

BTW, the July update (I think it was two updates ago) worked beautifully with the VPN active.

Yeah this is BS....I have a brother HL-L2370DW and it is doing the same thing. Also plugged in directly not wireless connection. Frustrating when printing checks!!! I agree on the "bill" for costs!!

This is a message I sent to Brother:

Customer By Service Web (ROBERT HOOPER) (08/06/2023 06:55 AM) I have a Brother model HLL2370-DW printer and when it comes out of deep sleep it prints a message GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1,1 Host: localhost. This starting happening after I upgraded the WIN10 computer and got a new one with WIN11. It is connected by the USB cable not WiFi. I have re-installed the firmwear and printer, tried different USB ports, made sure it had the up to date drivers. Also unchecked the boxes for informational notifications for local printers in the print server properties but it makes no difference. Every time out of deep sleep it prints the extra page. Could this be a Microsoft WIN11 issue that they have not updated yet or is this something Brother has to update? It is not being used as a network printer. This is the message I got back:
