John,
If these are driver issues (rather than program issues), and the devices
have drivers suitable for Vista, then there is a good chance that the
vista driver will work under W7. My Epson scanner and printer are fine
using a Vista(64-bit) driver under W7.
In respect of programs, many will work (and some won't!!) if one of the
compatibility modes are selected. For example, I wasn't able to get
Camera Updater to work with my OM-D until I set compatibility mode to
WinXP. Conversely I tried for several hours to get Protel Autotrax (DOS
program) to work... I gave up (and installed gEDA on my unix machine!).
