Unplug your USB print cable, delete the printer in Printers & Scanners then reinstall it (Add Printer) but switch your connection this time to Wi-Fi.
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.

2023-04-11T21:14:03+00:00 Switching to WiFi from USB connection is not practical for me. My printer does not have a WiFi capability without purchasing add-in hardware that I tried once before without success. Why can't I get a solution that is just an extension of what I've been doing for years--just a simple USB cable connection?

If, as you say, your printer can't connect to Wi-Fi, try pressing the "cancel print" button on the front of your printer (if it has one) every time your printer wakes up. I'm afraid that's all I have to offer until Microsoft issue a fix.
