I recently uninstalled a HP deskjet 1010 printer from my laptop, which went as smooth as possible.
On my next boot, an error message popped up which showed that an HPstatusBL.dll was not found.
This was the exact error message.
There was a problem starting C:\Program Files\HP\HP Deskjet 1010 series\bin\HPStatusBL.dll
The specified module could not be found.
On clicking the OK button, the message goes away but the same mesage at every bootup is very annoying.
The culprit is a shortcut that has remained put even after uninstall and it gets called at every boot.

This method works with all the other printers also, not only the 1010 series. In case you are not on Windows 10, the same method will work on previous versions too. The file path may be different in those cases.
