As far as I can tell, it is supported according to
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet_3745
which I'm sure you will have read.

In my experience using drivers for one similarly named
model for another won't work with HP printers but the
page above suggests that it is functionally similar to
a 3840.

It seems from
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320223
somebody else has this problem so it might be worth
following this thread and maybe adding your thoughts.

Make sure you have hpijs, hplip and hplip-data
installed.

Other than that I'm outta thoughts.
