New Printer HP2540/301 Acer Aspire 1 laptop has no disk drive and an idiot user. PLEASE HELP....

I bought myself a nice new 5240 all in one 301 printer on Wednesday.
Since then i have done nothing but fight with it ever since.
My laptop is an Acer Aspire one, one of the smaller ones, which unfortunately doesnt have a disk drive in it. My first thought went to downloading drivers. The web page didnt work and i realised then, that without the user manual (which i suspect is on the disk) i am totally lost.
So could someone please help me.
I have done a print out, which says.
Check your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your wireless router network name (SSID) exactly.
If they do not match exactly, run the wireless set up from the printer software to configure your HP printer.
I am assuming this is the software on the disk. Is there a way of downloading the software from online?
Any help would be gratefully accepted as i have no clue what i am doing atm. I am only just starting to learn how to use Windows 8 properly atm, up until now my whole computer skills hass been how to open a browser and office.
Thank you.i should also add, i have downloaded the app too, but that doesnt recognise that there is a printer there at all.

  • HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

    When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

    The computer freezes?  There may be something wrong with the USB port.  If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port?  If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer?  Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
    You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub.  Something like this one
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
    There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply.  You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer.  This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected.  Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

  • My laptop has no disk drive, so how do I install Photoshop CS5 without using a external disk drive?

    I've recently bought a laptop that does not have a disk drive. Is there any way to install Adobe Design Premium CS5 that I bought as a Disk last time without buying an external Disk drive?

    You can copy the content of the DVD on your computer through pen drive then install the software, to copy the content on pen drive you need the computer which can read you DVD.
    Or else , You can driectly download the setup on your computer from this link and use the serial number to serialize it;-

  • Had my iphone 4 stolen and now have iphone 3g but it wont restore and keeps coming up with error 1015! My laptop has the latest updated version of Itunes? Please help

    I had my iphone 4 stolen and have been lent an iphone 3G, I have tried to restore the phone but its coming up with error 1015 and wont restore. I have the current Itunes software on my computer and there are no further updates to be done.  Please help

    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.  Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.

  • I ask the third time: How can I enlarge the menue symbols and the text of the menue in Photoshop CS6 vers.13 so that I can read them??? My laptop has Win 8.1 and a screen resolution of 3840x2160

    I ask the third time:
    How can I enlarge the menue symbols and the text of the menue in Photoshop CS6 vers.13 so that I can read them??? My laptop has Win 8.1 and a screen resolution of 3840x2160.
    It is unbelievable that such an expensive software does not provide a proper lay out wit a high screen resolution!
    It is also unbelivable that it is not possible to get a qualified employee of ADOBE on the phone in Germany.

    The Battery in my laptop has been replaced twice and this is the third time the battery has swollen up.
    Since the first time it was swollen I have asked the reason but Apple has not come up with a reason and just replaced it.
    Second time also the service centre replaced the battery but were unable to give me a reason.
    I had asked them to replace the laptop as this has been happening repeatedly and seems to be something with the laptop
    otherwise why should every battery they put swell ?
    This is the third time this has happened. And now they refuse to replace the battery or the laptop also.
    What is the solution?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and press the problem. Elevate to store manager if necessary. Maybe the charging circuits are defective resulting in overcharging which is causing the battery problem.

    It is possible you can download but you haven't indicated the name of the software so only a general download link can be provided at this point.

  • I have a new laptop and have installed itunes onto it, but i am worried if i plug my iphone into it i will loose all my contacts apps and photos!! please help!!!

    hi there
    i have just bought a new laptop and have installed itunes onto it but i am worried that if i plug my iphone into it, that i will loose all my apps, contacts and photos!!
    please help!!

    I will try and be helpful unlike the the first two posters!!
    When you say installed iTunes I am guessing that its just the program and not your old library? in which case when you connect your iphone you will get a message warning you that you will be replacing the data on the iphone with the library on the new laptop i.e. an empty itunes.
    If this is the case what you need to do is on your old laptop,
    1: open itunes and go into preference/settings and go to advanced and make sure that consolidate and keep         organised are checked. 
    2: Then go to file and click consolidate library.
    3: close itunes and then go to start and open "My Music" folder.
    4: Drag the iTunes folder out of My music and put it on an external drive or network the 2 laptops.
    5: on the new laptop open "My Music" folder and drag out to the desk top the itunes folder
    6: from the external drive or network drang and drop the old iTunes library into the "My Music" folder on the new    laptop.
    now close it and restart iTunes and your old library should be visable and when you connect your iphone it will identify its the correct library to sync with.
