Just get Microsoft on the line. I just did that with a "chat" and remote access. Under an hour, fixed!

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!!!!

I've found that trial-and-error is the best approach on a Windows machine.

I agree that this is a very frustrating situation.
Since it is happening on just about every type of printer connected to Windows, I would conclude that it is a Microsoft problem and they should fix it.
I am trying to find out which part of their software is looking for a scanner status and who is the localhost and why does it need to know the status.
If a Microsoft tech is monitoring these messages, they could be able to answer the question.

2024-02-07T20:03:00+00:00 I have 2 Epson Workforce WF-7720 Printers and not only does this message appear at the top of new print jobs (I am an artist, and this is super annoying and very wasteful) but in addition my computer keeps dropping my printers' connection. I have to constantly be reconnecting them. I have to remove them and reconnect them a lot! Also, I have tried connecting them wirelessly and USB and neither connection seems to fix the problem. I have a new HP Envy desktop computer with Windows 11 preinstalled before purchase. I really wish someone, or Windows could come up with a fix!!!
