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

Does not work

To each his own, as they say. For me, I just leave the printer turned off. When I want to print, I release the job to print but don't press the Print button. I turn on the printer and THEN hit the print button. I can print a number of jobs in a row with no problem that way. As soon as I am done printing. I simply turn off the printer. I don't have to reboot my pc at all. Works like a charm.

Considering the waste of paper doing it any other way not to mention the lost time, I literally only have to wait seconds for the printing to start.

Leave printer turned off at all times. Turn on when print job is set to be released, less than 10 seconds, print, turn off printer when printing done.

It's much more difficult for my daughter at the university. Multiple professors queueing up print jobs from different pcs to assorted shared printers. It's a mess.

This bug has been unresolved for months now. I am not optimistic that Microsoft will fix it anytime soon.

After reading all the comments, I'm happy to know my computer system isn't demon possessed. Here is what I do to maintain my sanity. I simply leave the paper tray open so it can't print. Whenever I get ready to print something, I shut the tray. The printer screen immediately shows a "Receiving Data" message to which I respond by hitting the stop button. I may have to respond to 2-4 prints that are in que but that's a small inconvenience compared to rebooting my computer or going into software settings. I'm sure MS is aware and I'm optimistic that they're working on it in spite of ghosting all of us while they do.

That did not work.

All was fine for over an hour so I thought the problem was fixed. After my pc went into standby/sleep mode and "woke up", the printer went into the error condition immediately. The changes only work as long as the pc is "awake".

Turning off the printer completely is, so far, the only thing that works all the time. Turn it on when ready to print. Turn it off when printing is done.

Thank you for trying to help. It remains a Microsoft problem.

Thanks. I have done that and will see what happens.

I had gotten to the point where the only way to print without that message was to turn the printer on when I was ready to print and turn it off once I had printed a job. All other permutations and combinations failed.

It was clear the printer was expecting some notification OR was sending some notification which was not received properly.

The problem occurred even if I turned on the printer when I booted my pc and did not print anything. The printer would start grumbling and spit out the error without having sent a single print job.

From my perspective, this is a Microsoft bug in Windows 11 needing a fix and obvious documentation.
