hp wireless printer and bt home hub 2.0?

Hi guys

i purchased a HP 5030A wireless printer and allthough i connected it via usb with no problems im having some problems connecting it wirelessly ...( im only trying to connect my wifes acer laptop since my pc is connected via usb )

i have read the limited manual and all it says is to "use the onscreen display to configure wireless" and when i do this it gives me two options

1)press button ... however this requires your router to support wps.. however the bt home hub 2.0 does not

2)pin ... this gives me a key.. and tells me to use this key in my routers configuration menu..... urrrh what .....

i also watched some tutorials for hp wireless printers on youtube and it showed a guy scrolling through ssid,s ( router names ) using the printers display.... when i tried this no ssid,s can be seen... all i get is the two options above

another guy explained i had to connect my router to the hubs usb port... duh... this defeats the object of it being a wireless printer....

personally i thought you just made your printer wireless enabled , then when using your laptop you simply look for the printer on "avalible wireless networks " and then connect your printer using the wireless printers security key ( which does appear on the printer screen ) ...that said "what do i know " (ha,ha )

finally do i need to install the supplied software/drivers on all pc,s and laptops that will be connecting wirelessly and hardwired to the printer ?

any help will be much appreciated

cheers guys
