Get/eSCL/ScannerStatus HTTP/1.1 Host: localhost keeps printing

[Adalat]

Further to my last post, I think I solved it (my case at least).  I unplugged the USB connection to my Epson printer and set up a WiFi connection.  From that time on, no more spurious ScannerStatus printouts.

I have seen that helps some and unfortunately for me and a handful of others, the printers we use require the USB and can't be unplugged Wi-Fi.  Frustrating that HP and Epson KNOW that updating drivers/software and Uninstalling doesn't work.  Yesterday, my laser that is the HP doing this began an entirely NEW irritating feature.  When I send print jobs to my HP inkjet to print, the Laserjet that has the issue will spit put a page of this error message for good measure.  I paid $3k for this HP laserjet and it wastes about $100 in paper a week.

Sorry KatzaWilde.  I should have called my answer a workaround, not a "solution".  

Does your model of printer have a wifi adapter as an optional extra?  Or an ethernet connection that you could plug in to a router?  

[KatzaWilde]

Oh, no.  Yours was definitely a solution!  Don't feel bad for the rest of us.  When I bought this printer, I wanted it to be directly plugged in (bad internet service in our area) so as not to drain my router.  I  work using 2 inkjets and this 1 laser.  The 2 inkjets are wireless and this stupid thing (of course, I paid $200 or less for the inkjets!!!) that cost us the most and we use more than the other 2 has this problem.  The last month I have had to start unplugging and letting it sit a few hours then plugging it back in.  All I can assume is these error messages somehow are clogging up the print queue even when I keep it cleared.  I will send something to print, it prints the error page then my work then a few minutes later it will shoot out 6 pages of this error then it locks up and holds my intended jobs in the queue. Unplug, let set and delete jobs in queue then try again after an hour. I know it didn't sound like it in my exasperated reply to you, and I apologize for that, but I am very happy that one of us got out of this hole!  ol

Turned of notification as specified. Turned on printer. Opened Chrome browser. 

Printer immediately did the same thing."GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1"

Well here is your Epson reporting the same issue. Wasting paper and just plain annoying

[KatzaWilde]

Okay, so update to my issue.  I am also KatzaWild ...my account will sometimes allow me in and sometimes not. Don't ask. It is HP.

Moving forward with this issue we are all having.  Today is Monday. Thursday, I had a tech come and create a new profile on my desktop. I had upgraded last fall (October 2022) to Windows 11 and this began happening along with a whole host of other issues.  One of the issues was my  computer profile was attached to an old email and it was clashing with the new email and MS Office 365.  Again, not related...OR IS IT?  The tech deleted my old profile on my computer and transfered all of my files to the new profile (same computer, just logging in now as a "different user") and when he did this...the printer started printing the sheets again.  It had started up again last month after stopping on its own, now since Thursday when the tech I hired came on and switched my profile, it began again. I tried the above solution with unchecking the box for local and I also unchecked "network" printer so we shall see if it works.
