I don't know. But the Help contains the following which might work:

To create a second printer object with the same properties
as the original, but with a different port:

1. Display the pop-up menu for an existing printer object.
2. Select Create another.
3. Select a different port.

You'll have to give the new printer object a different name, but if the
new one stays on LPT1 as you want then you can just delete the old
"LPT3" printer object and then rename the new object so its name is that
of the old one.
