Again, thanks for your help in this. The issue is till not resolved and I want to think on it before I proceed. It seems there has to be an easier way to fix this. If I downloaded the missing drivers from another computer, could I install them in mine? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks again

Thank you so much for your response. @Perseshen 

 

Yes, if the required installation files can be successfully downloaded on another computer, you can transfer them to the affected PC using a USB flash drive and run the installation locally. However, since the error you reported references DIFXAPI.DLL, the issue may not be limited to a missing HP driver file and could involve the Windows driver installation framework itself.

 

Have a great day!

I'm an HP Employee.
