I lookup for answers for this same problem and the only best solution I found is to put at memory 2 applications and configure them. Then, when you print to LPT1, your job will be saved as a file and the other application will send it to USB port.
  I hope it help you, find this answer here:

I'm sorry Alex Goldberg, but the site I gave has a freeware named PrintFile, where you can configure a directory where everything you put there, it send to the printer spool. It would solve the USB problem.
  Yes, you're rigth when you said about the WordPerfect driver. I really didn't see it was only for WordPerfect because the name they gave it - "driver". But using the "PrintFile" is freeware and "dosprn" is not.
