Heyall, do not know if Any Other Folk out there found these solutions viable??
BUT, as I sit here, and finding nothing of any above really worked in my situation. This, on Our Epson ET-4760 Eco-Tank All-in-One Printer, as, after many times following the b.s. advice here....It still does the '/eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1 Host: Localhost' .....Shuffle...!! And wasting precious paper, sanity & patience.
Anyay, My 3 Cents.....As I have found, as in Society, as we all are Wireless Capable, just setup Wireless on Your Devices, bit awkward, but we ALL HAVE Wireless Capable. SO......I just pulled all the Connections, Ethernet, USB and Now it's "Peace & Quiet" after 3 years of this MindF**K, seeming...I can stop grinding my teeth.
THIS.... AS Nobody stepped up, either Epson, Microsoft, or HP, in any Formal Address of THIS....NOBODY...Except for the Vague Outside (Authorized Guru) Help from MS....Yikes..Who the Huh are They. Where is MS SUPPORT..>????? Is there ANY SUPPORT...Obviously Lacking..Look at Windows 11, still sputtering.
Anyway. All Quiet Today....and LOVING IT. Or, the Solution of...You Can Turn 'OFF" the Printer as Well, Imagine THAT>..!!
~Enjoy~
