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

I have the same problem...GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1

What a waste of resources (paper, ink, workload)

It is only after It prints half pages with the notice, can I print what I want without the garbage.

Microsoft has F up my printer also , any updates ??

I will be the first to admit, I have zero idea half of what you just typed so I am NOT tech savvy, but I know enough to know that if it is happening across several platforms, devices, it definitely is not a "me" problem, but a "you" problem. "You" being MS if it was hitting that many different brands/systems that require USB to perform then common sense would say it is MS.

I did see someone mention that they also had an Epson and instead of using DanielPratt1's suggestion to click on the HP files to click the Epson files similarly named and others went in and renamed those to begin with "temp", I think? I don't know if you saw that but if you didn't, worth a try.

I think some people think they are smarter than others. Snarky post was simply ridiculous. If they weren't having this issue, how did they land on this page? Lol because they obviously have the issue, the solutions provided didn't work for them so they thought they would throw some shame at the rest of us. Sorry. My tech guy tried many times to get rid of it and couldn't figure it out because the only printer it affects is a laser printer that has no scanner so he was unable to fix it. He had several other companies he contracts with that were having the same issue if the printer was USB connected HP or other brand.

MaryMcIntyre, I hope you are able to find some help on this. I hate that this solution doesn't work for all of us, which is also indicative that it is an MS issue...if we all installed it the software wrong then the one solution should have fixed it, right. ;)

Best of luck and if you are able to get it to quit, be sure to hop back on and let others know what you did!

Thanks, WildeKatz. I couldn't believe my eyes with that snarky post. I am a retired IT person. I know how to install software. Honestly.

This is a Microsoft problem. It affects a variety of printers, not just Epson. None of the solutions that have been offered have worked for me. For me, it's a question of Windows not recognizing end of job and releasing the printer. The scanner is not even being used.

You can encounter anomalies when custom software overwrites a Microsoft dll. Printer vendors know not to overlay Microsoft dlls. I do have one software package that is specialized and prints a lot. However, I also have that same package on a Surface Pro that only uses WiFi. I run that program with a basic Canon printer that is not scanner capable. I do not have the problem on that printer.

Turning off the printer at the end of a print job is the only solution that works for me.

So far so good, this has worked for me - thank you!

Mike

You are welcome! The credit goes to DanielPratt1 though. :) I Just reposted his suggestion. I am glad I was able to repost Daniel's suggestion though and it helped you. :)
