Yes, I know - had the same issue - person bought Windows 7 machine
plus printer at the same time at the same shop after asking a
consultant in the shop. :) - But the printer worked anyway even on
Windows 7 64 bit (just without the fancy tools).

Anyway, I had troubles with the HP printer (in my case) even on Linux
- so no difference here (and of course the fancy tools not available
there either).
