Printer printing on its own.

[Rocketbud]

The printer prints the following text:

GET /DevMgmt/ProductStatusDyn.xml  HTTP/1.1

HOST: localhost

GET /cdm/system/v1/status HTTP/1.1

HOST: localhost

POST /ipp/print  HTTP/1.1

Content-Length: 187

Content-Tyhpe: application/ipp

HOST: localhost

d G sttributes-charset utf-8Httributes-natural-language enEprinter-uri-ipp://loca

This has happen once a day for the last 3 days.  The printer is connected to my PC by USB connection.  

Running Windowns 10 Pro

Version 22H2

OS build 19045.3693

Driver HP Officejet Pro K8600 (61.72.244.0)

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks

Hi @Rocketbud,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It seems like your printer is trying to access a dynamic XML file related to device management. This could be a normal background operation, but it's unusual for it to happen daily and could be indicative of an issue.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the situation,

• Check Printer Software: Ensure that you have the latest drivers and firmware installed for your HP OfficeJet Pro K8600. Visit the official HP website to download and install the latest drivers.
• Check for Viruses or Malware: Perform a thorough antivirus and anti-malware scan on your computer to rule out any malicious activities. Sometimes, malware can cause unusual network activities.
• Firewall Settings: Check your firewall settings to ensure that they are not blocking any legitimate communication between your printer and the computer.
• Network Configuration: Even though your printer is connected via USB, it might still have network-related functionalities. Check the printer settings to ensure that it is configured correctly, and there are no unexpected network connections.
• Windows Event Viewer: Check the Windows Event Viewer for any related events or errors around the time when the issue occurs. This might provide more details about what's happening.
• Update Windows: Ensure that your Windows operating system is up-to-date. Sometimes, issues like this can be resolved with system updates.
• Printer Reset: You can also try resetting the printer to its default settings. Refer to your printer manual for instructions on how to perform a reset.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
