My HP6980 keeps printing "Get /DevMgmt/DiscoveryTree.xml HTTP/1.1.

[beachsunm]

I have connected this printer to my computer before with no problem.

Now I get the message "GET /DevMgmt/DiscoveryTree.xml" repeated page after page.

The printer automatically inserts half the next page so when I print a page, it gives half the page on one page and the bottom on the second page.

I see people in the past have had this problewm with earlier versions of Windows but some have said it does not work.
