can't install printer

I'm trying to install an Epson Action Laser 1500 and am having no luck,through either
the Add Printer or Reinstall Driver wizards. I've downloaded what I believe is the
correct .drv file, but neither wizard recognizes it. On the other hand, they're telling
me they can't find a bunch of other files (including lpt.vxd, which is already in
the Windows directory where it belongs). Help!?

When I use the Add Printer wizard (and don't select the "Have Disk" option), the
wizard asks me to insert the Windows 98 CD. It begins copying files from the CD,
but then pops up a box that says various files can't be found on the CD, which is
puzzling, because it also says - in the same dialog - that it's trying to copy from
C:\Windows\Options\CABS (it's a drop down - anyone know where it SHOULD be copying
from?). The missing files are FINSTALL.DLL, ICONLIB.DLL. UNIDRV.DLL, and associated
help files. Any ideas where these are located?

I had a similar problem with a game controller once. I just Googled each File that
I needed, and found them on the internet.
