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!!!!

Solution proposed by IDK47 in August 23 worked for me: I have an Epson printer, but had an HP printer beforehand, which was uninstalled. BUT there was still an HP service running on startup. Solution was this:
Enter "services.msc" command at RUN (after rightclick on Windows button bottom left), find "HP Print Scan Doctor Service" in displayed list and disable it. That solved the problem for me.
This would probably apply to anybody who has ever had an HP printer.
Give it a try.
See all answers on deleting all HP files/programs. Much easier and permanent and you can keep your USB connection.
I have just cured after months! Connect ONLY with wifi and NOT usb. QED.

I have a Brother MFC-L37500CDW multi-function printer/scanner. Was working fine. Upgraded to Windows 11 and now whenever it wakes up from sleeping, it prints a 2-line page saying:
Get /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1
Host: Localhost
Uninstalled Printer, reinstalled -- no change
Updated printer firmware -- no change
Switched USB cable to another USB port -- no change
From what I have seen on multiple forums, this is happening with multiple printers and multiple brands. The only constant is they are all connected via USB and all started happening when upgraded to Windows 11.
Here's what worked for me:
I went to my Start menu, uninstalled "HP Smart" and have had no problems since. And I have an Epson printer.
Deleting all of the HP printer files. Fixed my printer. I had uninstalled all the programs. But it was still Having same issue... so I had to search through my program files. And delete all the HP program files that I could find Once Those were deleted printer works as it should.
