Wow...I wish I understood even a small percentage of that article. Who actually knows all this stuff? I seem to have gotten around the problem. In looking at the article a couple simple things I could try stood out.
Remember I am working on the Win XP x64 side of the machine. Here are the steps I took. I first disconnected the network cable to the router and disabled the wireless adapter, thereby insuring there was no way to get to the internet once I made the service changes. I then disabled the Firewall service and enabled the Remote Registry service (which has to be the most dangerous service to enable if connected online). I then ran the software installation for the printer asking to repair an existing installation. There was a quick flash of a popup which I could not see but then everything installed. A reboot of the system and all was working. I then went in and disabled Remote Registry, enabled the wireless controller and plugged the cable back into the machine.
Was it the disabling of the Firewall? The enabling of the Remote Registry? Who knows.
