There are so many posts on this problem, I am amazed that the problem is still unsolved. I am using Windows 10 and an Epson ET-4800 multi-function printer/scanner. The problem is generalized to both Windows 10 and 11. I have faithfully followed the directions given in these posts with no success. Changed USB ports. Uninstalled and reinstalled Epson's software. Nothing has worked so far. I have had the printer for months, but the problem only started in the last few weeks. The printer repeatedly prints the "GET/eSCL/scannerstatus" message and prints out two lines at the top of each page. It is wasting paper, ink and most of all, my time.
