LaserJet Printing Continuous without anything in que

[Ostrak]

I have a LaserJet Pro MFP M225dn that was working fine, but now all of a sudden the printer is continuously asking for paper to print the following:

POST / ipp/printer HTTP/1.1

Content-Length:  186  (sometimes this is 181)

Content-Type:  application/ipp

HOST:  localhost

1266 G attributes-charset utf-8Httributes-natural-language enEprinter-uriLipp:/

A few things I have tried:

1) Unplug the cord and clear the memory on the printer itself. That worked but the moment I plug the cord from the computer back in it tries to print this message again.

2) Checked the print que - nothing there - even in the services control panel window.  

3) Uninstalled the printer and the HP Smart software.  The moment I plug the cord back in from the computer to the printer it tries to start this infernal printing message again. 

4) Tried using the HP Support but as it is out of warranty all I have access to is the virtual support window.  Tried all the options they suggest and nothing helped. 

I am at the end of my leash with this and frustrated.  I see that someone else on the forum had this issue, but there were no resolutions.  Can anyone offer some help as to why this is happening??

Thanks!

It sounds like you have a corrupt print job stuck in the Windows Spooler system. Try the instructions here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-clear-printer-queue-in-windows-10/7e5ac...

Follow them exactly or the spooler will not be cleared.
