What printer driver do I need for Works Suite 2004?

[M]

I have Windows XP. I recently bought/installed a new HP printer (Deskjet
3745) and received the following notices when I tried to print a database
from Works Suite 2004:
When I pressed Ctrl+P, “Microsoft Works- No default printer selected. Use
the Windows control panel to specify your printer.â€
When I clicked the printer icon, “Microsoft Works- The printer driver is
missing or not valid. Run the windows setup program to install the printer
hardware again.â€
The HP helpdesk gave me a temporary solution, but said I needed to get a
patch or Office update from Microsoft. I am not sure which update this should
be. Can you please tell me what I need to correct this problem and where I
can find it on your website? Thanks!

This has nothing to do with Microsoft Office - you might want to repost in
microsoft.public.windows.works for assistance.

Also, HP is full of it. It is their responsibility to provide drivers for
their products, not third parties.
