No.  We experienced the same thing.  We ended up buying new receipt printers that were compatible with Windows 7 and were USB.

My experience was similar to yours. I was told by Kevin at Bayscan (who 
knows his stuff) that the Epson drivers for Windows 7 support only a USB 
connection (and that doesn't count a USB-to-serial adapter).

For what it's worth, the later models of Epson TM88 print very fast.
