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!!!!

End.

    I started seeing this on my Epson printer just a few days ago and I'm still on Windows 10. The Task Scheduler Library on my software doesn't show an option for "Epson".

    I have a Brother printer and this is what the Brother website said to do. It should apply to other brands of printers since this is a general printer settings on Windows 11.

    I followed these steps but I had to choose Epson in task library instead of HP since my scanner connected by USB is Epson. Super helpful. So glad I was able to figure this out. Just started happening in 2024 and it was really annoying.

    Have same with Lexmark printer. Started after Windows 11 installed. It stopped a while ago at an upgrade BUT is now

    back as bad as ever since the more recent windows upgrades. Needs Microsoft action especially as we are all told to

    avoid waste of paper for the planet. For that reason alone Microsoft should take responsibility and fix this issue. Paul

    From MadMike2.

    Hi all,

    Finally got rid of the problem after about 6 months of trying. Reading most of the responses I got rid of:

    • HP Smart some time ago (but still got the problem but think it was part of the problem)
    • HP Print Scan Doctor today and solved the problem.

    I'm still on Windows 10. HP Print Scan Doctor doesn't appear under the "Apps and Features/Remove Program" list in System settings. I had to search for it.

    I found it under C:\Program Files\HPPrintScanDoctor.

    Rather than delete the folder altogether I renamed the following executable files as follows:

    HPPrinterHealthMonitor.exe to TEMP HPPrinterHealthMonitor.exe

    HPPrintScanDoctorDeploymentMgr.exe to TEMP HPPrintScanDoctorDeploymentMgr.exe

    HPPrintScanDoctorService.exe to TEMP HPPrintScanDoctorService.exe

    HPSUPD-Win32Exe.exe to TEMP HPSUPD-Win32Exe.exe

    That's certainly done the trick for me. Hope it's some use to everybody else.
