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!!!!

Melanie and all:
Sadly, this is what I do myself; turn the Epson printer ON to print specific item and then immediately turn it OFF until I need to print again. Very irritating but I use my Epson WF-3820 for color prints only. This has saved many, many sheets of paper and the black ink cartridge.

Then it's probably deeper rooted in Window's 11 and not accessible to us mere mortals. All I can suggest is switching off the network printer setting as well, just in case. It may be coming from another network connected printer. If that doesn't solve it then all that's left is to wait for a patch from Microsoft.
I don't know if your using Apple equipment, I don't, but there's earlier references to disabling Airprint that may be a cause too. To me, it does look like it's a problem in Windows 11 so altering anything on the printer itself isn't going to change anything - all you can do is wait for the patch from MS or, as I suggested earlier in this thread, hit the "Delete Print" button as soon as the printer wakes from sleep - that worked for me (but my printer is beside me on my desk and not on the other side of my office) until I unplugged my USB cable, deleted the USB variant of the printer software then did a complete reinstall of the printer but connected it this time via WIFI.
I did this is it made NO difference
If totally uninstalling your printer, disconnecting the USB cable, reinstalling the printer using Wi-Fi only and/or switching off the printer notifications hasn't worked for you then then all that's left is to wait for a patch from Microsoft and, until then, hit the Delete Print on wake up.
Sorry, that's all I have.
Thanks for trying to help.
