Can i buy OEM Vista with a printer?

No, not normally, has to be an integral part of the pc, normally a hdd.

and dude, one post in one forum is usually enough

cheers

sorry mate just really need an answer quick!

lol, no worries Many e-tailers will sell you OEM software with something like a printer, but it's not strictly cosher to do so under Miscrosoft's T's & C's. So go for it & see what happens.

Read the product page on Scan

PLEASE NOTE : The OEM agreement for Microsoft OEM SOFTWARE DISTRIBUTION.

If the individual software license is a desktop operating system (including Windows XP Media Center Edition), we grant you a nonexclusive right to distribute individual software licenses; provided that each one is distributed with either (a) a fully assembled computer system or (b) a nonperipheral computer hardware component.

A “fully assembled computer system” means a computer system consisting of at least a central processing unit, a motherboard, a hard drive, a power supply, and a case.
A “nonperipheral computer hardware component” means a component that will be an integral part of the fully assembled computer system on which the individual software license will be installed.

So no, not available with a printer. Other retailers will sell you it with a mouse, a bag of screws, or indeed nothing at all.
