Whenever I start my Windows operating system, I get a message from a startup item that is left over from a printer that I deleted when that unit failed.
Does anyone know where this call is made from, so I can delete it.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Here you go...
Error message "HP Status BL.dll” – module not found
Printer has been uninstalled / removed – error message persists
Solution provided by ShlomiL (Paraphrased):
- Open File Explorer (formally Windows Explorer)
- Type (copy and paste) into the address bar and press Enter:
%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
- Delete (drag to Trash) the monitor ink alerts shortcut to the non-existing printer
