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.

    Yep, Joe. It's Microsoft's issue. I noticed something the other day, after I installed some new ink cartridges on my printer. The problem did not occur as long as my pc session was active. If I let the pc's screen saver start, the moment I "woke" up my pc, the printer spit out that error message.

    If I stayed active and didn't touch the printer, it was fine. I have no idea why. I have not applied any updates but did apply all the suggestions made on this long thread. I have .

    I'll go back to the drawing board and test some permutations and combinations to see if I can suss out a pattern...

    FIXED!

    For context, I am using windows 11 home. I bought an epson ecotank 2870 and experienced the same issue. 2 lines of code.

    Get /eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1

    Host: Localhost

    After hours of searching I found there is a patch on epsons website. For some reason the epson portal did not auto download it for me...

    For the printer I bought "EPSON ECOTANK 2870" this is the link for the fix:

    https://www.epson.co.uk/en_GB/support/sc/ecotank-et-2870/s/s3039?suggestionClicked=true

    Scroll to "drivers" and download "scan patch for user interface".
    Ofcourse search on the website for your own printer.

    I did this fix over a month ago and everything went great. Now the tasks suddenly re-enabled themselves. I went ahead and deleted the tasks entirely this time. Hopefully no more zombie printer.

    Yes! It's only been a couple of days that I deleted "HP-SMART". but it was printing that line several times a day and seems to be gone. Mine is an Epson 3820 running Windows 10. This makes it appear that it is not Microsoft or Epson, it is HP! Thank you!
