FIX: "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1" in Windows 11.

If your printer keeps printing "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1. Host: Localhost" after waking it from sleep, continue reading below to fix the problem.

Like many users, I have experienced the Windows 11 printing issue "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1. Host: Localhost" when a printer wakes up from sleep, or after finishing a printing job. The problem usually occurs in Brother printers, but also occurs in other printer brands such as HP, Epson, etc., with any printer connection method, USB, LAN or Wi-Fi.

After investigating the error, I concluded that the problem is not due to the printer but to Windows 11 because in Windows 10 with the same printer installed the problem doesn't appear.

How to Stop your Printer Constantly Printing the message "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1. Host: Localhost" on Windows 11/10.

1. Disable Informational Notifications for Printer.

The most functional solution to prevent your printer from printing the message "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1. Host: Localhost", is to disable informational notifications for connected printers. To do this:

1. Go to Start > Settings, select Bluetooth & devices on the left and then open Printers & scanners on the right.

2. On Printers & scanners page, scroll down and under Related settings open the Print server properties.

3. In Print Server Properties window, go to Advanced tab and uncheck the following options:

• Show informational notifications for local printers.
• Show informational notifications for network printers.

4. When done, click OK to apply the change.

5. Restart your computer.

6. After restarting, put your computer to sleep* and then wake it up to verify that the printer is not printing anymore the "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1. Host: Localhost" message.

* Notes:To put your computer to sleep, go to Start menu, right-click on the Power button and click Sleep.

2. Additional Steps for HP Computers & Printers.

If you own an HP desktop or laptop computer or an HP printer, apply also the below steps to eliminate the "GET/eSCL/ScannerStatus/HTTP/1.1. Host: Localhost" printing message:

Step 1. Disable HP Print & Scan Doctor Service.

1.Press Windows + R keys to open the run command box.
2. Type "services.msc" and click OK to open Windows services.

3. Open the HPPrintScanDoctorService and change the Startup type to Manual or Disabled.

Step 2. Disable Printer Health Monitor tasks in Task Scheduler.

1.Press Windows + R keys to open the run command box.
2. Type "taskschd.msc" and click OK to open Task Scheduler.

3. In Task Scheduler, go to Task Scheduler Library > HP > HP Print Scan Doctor.

4. At right pane, do the following:

• Right-click at Printer Health Monitor and select Disable.
• Right-click at Printer Health Monitor Logon and select Disable.

5. When done, close task scheduler and restart your PC. *

* Note: If the issue persists after the restart, proceed and uninstall the HP Print Scan Doctor app.
