The error message you gave is badly written, which may say something about the software itself
Have you tried using the latest drivers? The installation might be dependant on a particular version of a library and you've got a more modern version. Just a guess and not much you can do anyway. Shame the error message is so, er, useless. Does XP keep logs and if so, what do they say - maybe increase the verbosity and try installing the printer again. I know with my HP Deskjet drivers it takes a bit of luck to get the drivers to install
