Why wont my hp printer work?

My Hp PSC 1410 All in One Printer Scanner Copier wont work~ I lost the installation disk! What can I do?

• My old computer was a windows 2000. I decided to trash my old computer and get two new computers (college student is the reason) I bought an XP laptop and a Vista desktop. I have had them both about three months. When I realized that I wanted to scan something I noticed that Id lost the installation cd. It could have very well been thrown out with the old computer by mistake. I have been told that installation disks werent always needed for things like printers and cameras and things. I tried connecting my printer to the vista first. It said recognized new printer HP 1410 at the bottom of the screen but when I tried to use it it wouldnt work. I then tried to hook it up to the XP. It right away asked for the installation disk. The scanner/printer isnt even a good year old yet but Im really good at getting rid of everything that comes with things like this (foolishly thinking its nothing but clutter) so I cant even find the manual that would help me figure out what to do. Help if you can
