Is anyone aware of a way in Windows

Alan, I forgot to mention a couple ideas.  I don't know if there are
any Win-centric versions of the utilities I alluded to, but you could do
a keyword search ("LPT"  "USB"  "redirect"  etc.) at major
freeware / shareware archives like

http://www.zdnet.com/downloads/

or

http://www.zdnet.com/pcmag/utilities/

These two might ultimately go to the same place, since ZD owns PC Rag. 
... . .  but there are a number of others.

 

 If, though, I could get Windows
to automatically redirect all output from LPT1: to LPTUSB1, I'd be in business.

An unusual (additional) reserved device name like that must get initialized
by some device driver at boot-time, I would guess.
