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!!!!

Jim,
The only workaround I have come up with after a variety of tests - I am a retired IT professional, btw - is to turn off the printer after you have finished printing your last job and then turn it back on.
The printer is not being released from the last job by the operating system. This is annoying but saves paper and ink. Microsoft does not appear to be interested in fixing this bug.

Jim,
It's still not fixed for me. The only workaround for me on my Epson printer is to turn the printer off after I am finishing printing. If I have several documents to print at the same time, that works. The problem arises when there is a gap after I have finished printing the last document.
I still feel that the printer is not being released by the operating system. It appears that some kind of code needs to be sent to the printer to tell it not to wait for another print job. After a certain time lapse and nothing from the O/S, the printer goes into an error state.
It's now almost a year since this error first appeared. From my perspective, it should be a simple fix. It is absolutely Microsoft's bug.

I have a canon imageClass MF264dw and I keep getting a print error on paper - Get /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1 Host: Localhost Just last night it printed out 5 times wasting paper. This seems to be happening to may people with different printers. I am on windows 11 and it seemed to start about 2 updates ago.
I do not see William Blum1's reply.
Still have the problem.
When I turn on my second printer/scanner, my other printer starts printing out the message multiple times.
Also, when I go to settings/printers the reply starts to happen.
