Help - HP printer won't install and I'm swearing like a fishwife!

I'm going round and round trying to install our old HP printer to the laptop after getting a new BT home hub. It says the wifi is linked to the printer, and has an 'excellent' signal (glad it's so happy - I'm not!)

I've tried downloading new software and drivers and it gets so far then says something along the lines of 'unable to continue - go away!' Of course, it's out of warranty so I can't ring HP unless I pay them some unspecified amount.

I've tried using both wireless and USB.

I've tried downloading the HP wizard to fix it - that says 'go away'.

I've tried installing the software (can't find the original installation CD) - 'go away'.

I've done everything I understand suggested on the HP website - 'go away'.

The help page talks about SSIDs and up to 13 steps - none of which I understand.

The printer was working fine until we installed the new hub - I've even tried using the old hub again but no joy.

Can someone HELP, please?
