Well if it installation out of the box in Windows Vista it should in Windows 7? I can't consider they say it works out of the box in Vista, as they did not even support it under Windows XP x64. Do you are familiar with if there is a workaround to get it to run on windows 7? I imagine it is really a fritter away buying an additional printer, as I just use my system for games and to write the abnormal letter which my old Epson 830 is perfect for.
