The driver rtl8192ce in Ubuntu 14.04 covers your device. If it is not working as expected, something else is wrong. Is the wireless switch or key combination set to enable wireless? Check:

$ rfkill list all
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
           Soft blocked: yes
           Hard blocked: yes

The wireless switch or key combination is set to disable wireless. Please find it and switch on the wireless.

Your wireless switch, F12, doesn't seem to respond to unblock the wireless. I suggest you try resetting the BIOS to 'Default.' Please see:wireless hardware switch disabled in a compaq presario CQ57-339WM notebook pc

Once we have more information, I will edit my answer to propose a solution.

You mention that you aren't comfortable compiling and installing a driver, but unfortunately you can't do this without that. Fortunately, because of the pain I went through personally, I have made it as easy as possible for you. I fixed the compile issues on 13.04 with the RTL8188CE driver and put detailed instructions for install up on my Git Hub.

This version fixes the compile error and also fixes the hard-coded Tx Power value that was set to 22 dBm.

First install Git and build dependencies:

sudo apt-get install git
apt-get install gcc build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-`uname -r`

Then clone the repo. I like to make a directory in my home folder and put it there:

cd ~
mkdir gitclone && cd gitclone
git clone https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver/blob/master/README.md
cd rtl8188ce-linux-driver

Then follow the instructions in README.md

EDIT: 22-Jan-2015

It is now even easier. Install git:

sudo apt-get install git

and run this command

git clone https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver.git && cd rtl8188ce-linux-driver && ./install.sh`
