Default Question re USB features on win98se PC

You are probably not going to find any new printers that have W98SE drivers.
For example, see this HP article:

I have just one more question re the USB facilities on my 98se PC.

After I successfully plugged a new KB into 1 of 2 USB ports on the rear
panel, (initially I thought there was only one) I was looking at some
cheap
printer/scanners etc for $69. But like
all peripherals these days they are USB. I understand that a converter
adapter may get me back into the parallel port,..but before that decision
I
had a look at "System Properties" then "Device manager" then opened 3
headings under "USB Controllers"

1st Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USBUniversal Host Controller (exists in all
hardware profiles)

2nd USB Composite Device (exists in all hardware profiles)

3rd USB Root hub (exists in all hardware profiles)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Does this info indicate anything meaningfull about the 2 USB ports on the
PC, in particular whether a printer can be connected to second USB, or
whether a piggy back to the 1st (which currently has the KB).

TIA,..Jason
