MF443DW prints 4 pages after every restart

I have a MF443dw that keeps printing 4 pages after every restart, the first page has the following message as seen in the picture below and the other 3 are blank. I have tried a factory reset and multiple driver reinstalls but the issue persists. I also deleted everything from C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS. The printer was connected through wifi to another pc, i cleaned the print queue from that one too but it shouldnt affect if after the factory reset since i didnt connect it to wifi after. I checked the print job list on the printer and it is empty.

Greetings,

The MF443Cdw does not appear to be a printer model sold in the United States.

Are you able to print and scan?  

What version and build of Windows are you using the printer with?

This behavior is likely related to the print driver or printer configuration.  Is this a new behavior or has it always done this? 

Clearing the prince spooler is one correct step for troubleshooting.  

Please tell us what drivers you installed.  We need to know exactly which they were.  

Also, please describe your network environment.  Brand and model of your router and its configuration.  Router, mesh network, etc.  Please provide as much detail as possible.

This problem is not specific to your model or even Canon printers; rather, it is due to Win 11 24H2's network protocol.  I observed it on my MF465 a few months ago and drove me nuts.  Unfortunately, I don't remember how it was solved eventually, but start with the usual steps of updating Windows and reinstalling the drivers, etc. Good luck!
