How delete a HP printer (shortcut?) icon from my Mac desktop?

I already have a printer icon in my dock. The printer shortcut (?) icon appeared when I dragged & dropped my printer icon from System Prefs, etc. to replace the large white question mark on the dock. I succeeded in doing that, but suddenly a printer icon popped up on the desktop. It's in a black square drawn around it with a small black arrow in the lower left corner. I don't know if its ok to try to delete it or what it means. (I had to delete my printer & reinstall because of the Apple-HP printer problem that started I think around Oct. 23, 2020). Google shows many of us have the problem. What does the black square with the little arrow mean?

Have you tried dragging it to the Trash and emptying the Trash?
