USB driver

We have tried to install a new printer that is usb supported. After going
through all of the set-up, it comes back with an error message that it can
not find the device. Previously, I used a printer that was parallel cable
supported, all printers now are USB supported. The system is Windows 98. 3
different devices have been tried(2 different printers, 1 digital camera)
all comeback with above error message. HELP any suggestions ?

Are the USB ports visible in Device Manager?
- are they actually switched on in the BIOS?
are they on the motherboard, or on a PCI Card - or connected at all?
