OfficeJet Pro 7740
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

So I have a new OfficeJet Pro 7740, and it is driving me bonkers.  Every 10-15 minutes or so, it prints 4 pages on its own.  On these 4 pages, it repeatedly prints "GET: /DevMgmt/MediaHandlingDyn.xml HTTP/1.1 HOST:" except for on the last page it prints just one line that says "GET: /DevMgmt/ProductConfigDynDyn.xml HTTP/1.1 HOST:".  There are a number of help articles out there to deal with this issue as long as your printer is not a PCL3 printer.  Well, there's your problem.  The OfficeJet Pro 7740 IS a PCL3 printer.  So how do I fix this?? Also, when I try to cancel the printing of these pages, it takes a good 5-10 minutes for the printer to cancel the job (depending on its mood, apparently).  Please help me before I am singlehandedly responsible for the destruction of all the forests in North America!  -_-

Hi @knightwolfe41,

 

I'd like to help!

 

 Let's try and uninstall the printer software from the root level on your PC and install the full feature printer software.

 

--->In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.

--->Select your HP printer.

--->Select Uninstall.

--->In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.

--->In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”

--->Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.

--->Type printui.exe /s and click OK.

--->Click on the Drivers tab.

--->Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click remove at the bottom.

--->Select OK.

--->Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.

--->Close Devices and Printers.

 

And then reinstall the printer full-featured drivers from software and drivers page 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
