My HP inkjet printer died and I have tried to remove all traces of this printer before I install another, but I keep getting a persistent error on startup saying 2 or 3 DLL files are missing.  Can someone please tell me how to fix this?  Thanks in advance.

Hi,
From File Explorer type %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup into the address bar and press Enter.
Delete the Monitor Ink Alerts shortcut of the Non-Existing printer and the error should no longer appear.
