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!!!!

Same issue with me for my Brother Laser. Don't know if this possible solution was brought up previously but just found this link "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1" printing unexpectedly - Windows (brother-usa.com) which I'm hoping will fix my issue.
Since it addresses informational notifications for local printers under print server properties I thought it might be a viable solution for me/others? If not, sorry...
Will soon find out.
I've read a lot of forums about this and the things that remains consistent about this issue, is that it continues and that MS does not respond to any of the forums. Every make of printer is having the same issue and and largely under the same environments and they choose to do nothing about the problem they created.
I have the same problem. After a seemingly correct print, the printer will display a check mark indicating a successful print but not return to its "ready" state. After a while, the printer starts making little clicking noises and the next time I try to print I get an error. Sometimes that page with one like (quoted in earlier posts) gets printed all by itself. Sometimes it's at the top of my next print job. Sometimes, the print queue shows 13 or 14 jobs that have already been printed. I was forced to use Epson's Driver Support tool the last time I tried to troubleshoot and got charged $9.99 with no warning! This is a problem on my 4100 and XP-6000.
I also tried clearing the check mark by pressing OK on the control panel. The display seemed to be normal but it did not stop the error message appearing the next time.
The only thing that seems to work is to turn off the printer after a successful print. That restores the state of the printer to "ready". You also have to turn off the printer when you power down or reboot your pc.
I am running Windows 11 on a Dell Inspiron 16 2-1. It's a problem with something Microsoft has done in Windows 11 that printer drivers apparenty know nothing about. I have reported the problem to Epson with no response. The cost in wasted paper is awful and the annoyance is through the roof.
Same here- got a new Lexmark laser printer- had it on Wifi but it kept going offline and had to use USB, Now it is printing pages with the GET/eSCL message at the top.
I avoid it by using the printer on WiFi Direct rather than a cable connection. I have to disconnect from my router, connect to the WiFi Direct on the printer, print, then disconnect the WiFi Direct and reconnect to the router to gain internet back. It's bloody genius to do it this way. It takes little to no time at all and isn't a pain in the butt in the least! ; ) However, using a wireless connection on your printer is like being sober and having an alcoholic lover. Everything will be going along just fine and then all of the sudden they act like they don't even know your name.
Somebody Please Fix This!!!!! Bourbon
