I had been trying to install this myself for a number of weeks and found it cannot be done. I did manage to get this installed but it is going the long way about it.

To install this printer on windows 7 you need a windows xp (or the operating system the printer will work on) disc. and you will need to install virtual box (http://www.virtualbox.org/) once you haev install this you need to share the drive from your windows 7 machine with the virtual box then install windows xp and then install the printer on the virtual box. I gave my virtual box 4GB of disc space and now the printer is working fine. I added a folder to my desktop and shared this with the virtual box and then if I need anything printing drop it into that folder and print from virtual box.

You start and close the firtual box just like you do any PC and I have found it excellent because it also give me a test enviroment to play with.
