I have never engraved 7075 aluminum but I would think since it has average-to-good ratings for machinability and the Rockwell hardness is just slightly higher (3 points) than 12L14 that it would engrave similar to 12L14.  All you can do is grab a piece of scrap and give it a whirl.  :D

You'll get a lot more traction on these sites: http://www.engraverscafe.com/  or here: http://www.engravingforum.com/

We hardly know how to engrave over here, much less on aluminum.  :D
