Hello,
I have a HP LaserJet Pro M201dw that has worked fine for years. Recently I built a new PC with windows 11 and since then when I try to print something it will print the document, then it will print this over and over until the paper runs out or I turn the printer off:
Post /ipp/printer HTTP/1.1
Content-Length: 179 ( this number changes can be 185, 184, 173 etc)
Content-type: application/ipp
HOST: localhost
I have done the following to try to fix this issue, yet nothing has worked:
Restart printer
unplug printer
restart Printer, computer modem router
Hard reset: hold delete,right button and start button at the same time. let printer restart normally.
updated drivers
There are zero documents in que to be printed. . The printer is connected directly to my PC and is not shared.
Any help would be fantastic. Very Frustrated.

Directly connected meaning USB or network? This error has been showing up a lot lately and text suggests an issue with a Microsoft internet print protocol. You may want to try using the current HP Smart Universal Printer Driver.
