How do I run a NEW printer with a OLD Me OS

I purchased a new Epson printer and it will not install on my OLD Window's Millennium OS. Is there any way I can do this? OR is there a NEW printer I can buy that can be installed?

Well I'm just saying if I had a LEGIT Windows 98 Disk (I don't own a 98 disk) I would install 98 (on my own computer) then I would upgrade it to Windows ME

Windows ME is MY favorite Windows OS...
I've used it for many years...
