FIX: Printer Keeps Printing ‘POST /ipp-print HTTP-1.1’ on Windows 11 24H2.

Several users reported that after upgrading their systems to Windows 11 v24H2, their printer, at random times (e.g. after printing something or after turning it on), continues to print pages with the following text:

POST /ipp-print HTTP-1.1
Connection: keep alive
Content-type: application/ipp
User-agent: Windows internet print provider
Content-Length:626
host:localhost

Because the reported issue occurs on any printer model/brand and only when the printer is connected to computers running Windows 11 and not Windows 10, I conclude that it is due to a Windows 11 bug that Microsoft has not yet fixed.

In this guide you will find some suggestions to fix the “POST /ipp-print HTTP-1.1” printing problem that I hope will help you.
