HP 3055 wont install Missing hpcui094.dll?

I try to install an HP 3055 all in one via USB cable and my Gateway laptop (XP sp3) churns through the setup just fine until after connecting the USB cable as prompted, printer recognized, installing...then "error, missing hpcui094.dll" window pops up. It asks me if I want to search for it. I do with no luck. worst part is a google search of hpcui094.dll yields no results. Printer installed fine on a friend's identical machine so I know its not the CD, Cable, etc.
Any ideas are welcomed

 

Try the latest driver from HP, do not uninstall the old driver.

Download the first one in the Driver section ( HP LaserJet 3050/3052/3055/3390/3392 PCL6 Plug and Play Scan/Print Driver Package)



.

 

Downloaded as directed and tried alternate install from online driver. Unfortunately The installation looked good for a while and then came up with the message box "Installation failed".
