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!!!!

    Hi Guys

    I'm not sure if my suggestion below will work for printers not made by HP but I have an old HP 6940 printer that started printing the texts such as:

    Get /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1

    Host: Localhost

    It started early July and I suspected it might have been caused by a Windows 10 update. Also produces a random wake up and print output on the HP without any print requests from me or my desktop.

    So I then tried running the services.msc command and disabled the following processes - which you may or may not have running on your system:

    HP Network Devices Support

    HP Print Scan Doctor Service

    Amazingly the HP 6940 has not woken up randomly or printed the HTTP gibberish since.

    I know the above may knock out your wifi services or other functions but it might be worth trying the solution to see if your USB-connected printer shuts itself up for a while.

    If it doesn't - turn the two services back on or experiment as you see fit.

    This did not happen prior to updating to Windows 11 for me.

    Same problem with my Epson WF7710 since I got my new HP Win11 computer very recently. I'm looking for a fix.

    Started after upgrading to Windows 11! My printer keeps printing out the same page saying this about 3 times and spits the paper out....
    GET /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1:1
    Host: localhost

    I have restarted everything multiple times, uninstalled ALL drivers, reinstalled the ones from EPSON site and it is happening how MORE FREQUENTLY! I now have it repeated 11 times. WHEN WILL MICROSOFT FIX THIS ISSUE that has at least been reported from Feb 2023?!?!?! There is NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE BACK TO WINDOWS 10!

    Windows, you suck,
