Give Knoppix a try first, before you put anything on your HD or spend any money. All you need to know is your IP config information: address (if not using DHCP), gateway (if using a cable modem), DNS. You'll be up and running in 3 or 4 minutes...then just play around and see if you like it.

OpenOffice 1.1 is damn good. I don't use wireless from my Linux box, so I can't say anything about that--though I'm sure it's pretty easy to set up. Scanning and printing can be done through The GIMP (PhotoShop-like softward) or plenty of other methods.
