More Epson printer problems with Windows 11

I am running Windows 11 with Epson XP-6105 USB connection. The printer itself seems to be running correctly after some problems reinstalling for Windows 11. I understand that MS is rolling out the replacement of the manufacturer's printer drivers by Windows IPP printer driver for security reasons. Every now and again, apparently at random, the printer prints out about 4 pages, heading:

POST /ipp/print HTTP/I.I 
Connection: Keep-Alive 
Content-Type; application/ ipp 
User-Agent: Windows Internet Print Provider 
Content-Length: 626

The rest blank. This is spontaneous printing and does not seem to show on print queue. I try to cancel printing, but I'm never quick enough. Any ideas how to stop this irritation? I do not want to install an IPP driver if I don't have to in view of difficulties.

    None of the solutions referenced has been of any help to me. I have completely uninstalled all the Epson software, and reinstalled it after re-booting, but, still, after a few minutes the printer starts printing the same pages. This just started occurring within the past two weeks. I've uninstalled Microsoft updates as well but nothing I've done to this point has changed anything.

    I'm also experiencing this problem with my Epson ET4800 printer, it'll randomly print out 'Keep-Alive' pages, nothing in the print queue. I've tried power cycling the printer, even went as far as reinstalling Windows 11 Clean, still experiencing the same issue. It's REALLY ANNOYING, I can't leave any pages in the printer.

    I have this exact same issue as WendyJoint. It began when I bought a new computer and added Windows 11. I have an Epson printer. Has anyone discovered a solution that works?

    I had to also work to get my scanner to work again with Windows 11. Now that I have the scanner working, the printer has not printed the spontaneous pages. Not sure what the connection between the 2 are, but, for now anyway, the problem seems to be solved.

    My problem eventually solved itself. I updated Win 11 and restarted a couple of times. Reinstalled the printer as well. Not sure what the deciding factor was, but it stopped! Hooray!
