I am using a printer on Windows 10. Every time I start printing, the printer prints a page containing what looks like a raw IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) request instead of the actual document.

Here is the content that gets printed on paper:

POST /ipp/print HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Type: application/ipp
User-Agent: Windows Internet Print Provider
Content-Length: 653
Host: localhost
G:attributes-charset utf-8
attributes-natural-language en-us
printer-uri: ipp://localhost/ipp/print

However, the printer works fine for other users or from other applications.

What I Have Tried:

• Restarted the printer and PC.
• Checked printer properties and port settings.
• Reinstalled and updated the Canon printer drivers.
• Verified that the correct printer is selected as default.
• Tested printing via USB — same result.

Additional Information:

• OS: Windows 10
• Connection type: USB cable
• Printer Model: Canon
• Print protocol: IPP (Internet Printing Protocol)

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Have a read of this Microsoft article. I believe your issue is related to the update listed.

I think the issue is actually the USB driver

https://learn.microsoft/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-22h2#usb-printers-might-print-random-text-with-the-january-2025-preview-update

UPDATE: This (USB Printing) issue was resolved by Windows updates released March 25, 2025 (KB5053657), and later.

https://support.microsoft/en-us/topic/march-25-2025-kb5053657-os-builds-22621-5126-and-22631-5126-preview-87a95447-6e12-4cd6-a7cf-ef525b8a489f

I hope this helps with the issue you are having.
