printer!

hiya :) my HP deskjet printer wont install, i lost the disk ages ago and have just gone to install it using the usual method of plugging the usb in and hoping it finds the software (which has always worked in the past!) anywho it didnt find it but did direct me to the website, i pressed to download the drivers/software but it keeps timing the download out :( iam using a dongle i dont know if that makes a difference but there is a very impatient 3 year old who wants fifi pictures to print and colour so any advise would be great! (ive just typed great that many times and it still does not look like ive spelled it right... hey ho)

    Here's the download page (which I think you'd already found):

    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&dlc=fi&cc=fi&product=3177562

    The basic driver will allow you to print but you won't be able to scan until you download Full Feature which is a huge file!
