New hardware on Windows 95

I am still running an old dinosaur PC and my printer just died. All the printers on the market seem to require at least Windows 98. Is there any work-around so these new printers can run on Windows 95? Thanks!

The two OSs aren't that dissimilar - no guarantees of course, but the 98 driver might work under 95. USB devices are another matter - Win95's support for USB was somewhat sketchy at best.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then give up. There's no sense being a damn fool about it.

Just a side note, I have been running windows 98 and i would stick with it but from what I understand everything made for now on will not be windows 95 or 98 compatible meaning there will not be drivers for the new software, now granted you can install software drivers but its not really worth it if you think about it.

Is that some sort of riddle? (or just a meandering sentence)
