Is there a driver that will let me connect my HP T-45 to windows 7

You'll find any available drivers for the HP Deskjet 6988 on the support page for the 6980 series printers: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-deskjet-6980-printer-series/468002/model/3422864 .

The Windows 7 driver should be found by Windows Update when you connect the printer with a USB cable. If you are using the printer in a network, you need to manually add a printer (using the wizard) from the Printers and Devices Control Panel. Start this after you have the printer connected to your router or switch. See https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01796879 and expand the section for Wireless or Wired Connection (Windows 7, Vista).

I hope this helps.
