Agreed, which is probably why MS hasn't put out a fix or patch yet. They can't figure out a fix all solution either!

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!!!!

2024-06-24T15:33:27+00:00 My problem appears to be resolved but I am stumped on why.
I have applied all the suggested "fixes" in the past 18 months or so to no avail. When the comments were made about USB v Wifi, I was intrigued about that.
My pc is a "directly" connected RS232 via USB dongle. PCs don't seem to have those RS232 ports anymore. I experimented and turned on Wifi on my pc and using Wifi the problem disappeared! Technically, I am using a USB port but want the direct connect to internet. My pc is too far from the router to get good response via Wifi and why would I use a USB connection when I want good response.
I then turned off Wifi on my pc and the problem is no longer appearing.
Huh?

2024-06-24T15:30:28+00:00 It seems different things are working for different people. I haven't seen "Get /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1:1 Host: localhost" since deleting the HP software from my computer. My printer is an Epson. My computer is still running Windows 10.

2024-06-24T13:47:17+00:00 I disabled HP Print Scan Doctor Service and as soon as I plugged my USB back in, it wasn't 10 minutes later it printed again. Wifi is the answer for me.

2024-06-24T12:54:25+00:00 by going into "services.msc" and disable anything HP related service. For me it was disabling "HP Print Scan Doctor Service" fix my issue with USB connection.
Disable "HP Print Scan Doctor Service" in services and immediately notice no printer chatter
Between the printer and computer when using USB connection and no more printing of “GET /ESCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost” on first page.
Suggestion 1) Disable any HP or other manufacturer services
- On the keyboard press Windows Key +R
- Type in services.msc
- Find any other manufacturer service and disable them. (HP Print Scan Doctor Service, HP Network Devices Support)
