Hi Mary...Thank you for suggestion(s). I truly wish Microsoft was as caring as you are. Unfortunately, my HP Printer Laser Jet M553 does not have "Check Mark" on its control panel.
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.

2023-05-27T17:32:39+00:00 I am not sure what has happened but the odd message has stopped on my Epson printer. I set up today to test some conditions but wanted to start from scratch.
I booted my Dell Inspiron 16 2 in 1 running Windows 11, connected "directly" to the internet. I say "directly" because the RS 232 cable is connected to a USB connector. So it's not truly a direct connect but close. I printed a document and left the printer on. Unlike previous experiences, the physical "on" light on the printer remained steady. In the past, after a few minutes, that light would start blinking and the printer would start making noises.
After more than 30 minutes and NOT clicking on the check mark, the printer remained silent and the "on" light solid. I tried printing another document and it was successful!
Now I am stumped. I have not updated my printer driver but cannot remember if my O/S was updated recently. The only logical explanation I have is that Microsoft has corrected its problem quietly.
The only other change was that today I was using a USB 3.0 dongle versus a 2.0 dongle. That should not matter at all. The difference there is purported to be transfer speed. I will test on my Surface Pro but suspect that will now be ok too.

2023-05-28T18:51:40+00:00 My post yesterday had, unfortunately, an unknown error. When I shut down my pc last night, I left the printer on, thinking the problem had been corrected by Microsoft. When I started up my pc today, the error was back.
Turning off the pc plays a part in clearing the error condition. I will continue to test alternatives but, bottom line, the only way to "refresh" the ready condition of the printer is to turn it off. The printer just is not getting the all clear from the O/S.

2023-06-02T00:55:37+00:00 I have EXACTLY the same printer. I disconnected the USB, uninstalled the printer completely shut the PC down and restarted it then reinstalled the printer but selected Wi-Fi installation. It's worked fine ever since.
