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!!!!

It was an ethernet patch cable that the tech had suggested. I can't remember if I decided not to worry about it due to cost, or lack of availability for my printer. Either way, moving forward, I'll just turn the printer off when not in use. As I'm retired, I don't print a lot these days and recycle the paper as the message is at the top of the page so when I'm just printing something for myself I just use the reverse side.
Thanks so much everyone.
Microsoft did something on the qt between August 6 and August 7. I hope they are monitoring this thread. I had been fine for two months and on August 7th, the error reappeared.
Same thing. I had eliminated the error after a strange series of switching to wifi and back to direct connect (using a usb dongle). On August 7, I woke up to find a single page printed with 3 of the errors printed on it. I repeated the steps I had done in the past taking a hard reboot in between to no avail.
I'm back at square one. I have to turn off my printer if I am not going to print after 10 or so minutes.
This has been going on for over a year and a half. It is unbelievably counter productive for my work.
Agree, not to mention the collective waste of paper. Not so bad for me as I'm retired and my printing is just for me personally so it doesn't matter if I use the paper for most things, but for anyone in a business setting, it's a bit crazy. Hope they can fix it.
Having the same problem... Joe Beaudin was my uncle. Small world!
