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'm hoping this will be my saving grace on this today. Losing my mind with the printer constantly making noise and printing this out...

    I tried several things that was talked about. Nothing worked. But removing all HP related software for Printers did work.

    For whatever reason I was lucky to have my printer stop that for about 3 days. I removed all the HP scanning and software programming Etc and that did not work. Mad Mike you need to working on this. Greatly and luckily I'm only getting one stupid print out per printer startup.

    Hi All,

    Mad Mike 2 and others seem to have cracked the problem by fingering the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Well Done.

    On opening the HP Print and Scan Doctor, I was surprised to see that my Epson 2820 printer featured along with the old HP printer.

    So I deleted all HP Diagnostics type files from the C Drive and the spurious 'GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus... etc' printouts from the Epson stopped.

    So far so good, fingers crossed.

    It's annoying that there seems no other way of uninstalling the HP Print and Scan Doctor program, apart from possibly using an outside software tool.

    Could this be another example of HP's invasive tendencies?
