Sorry if this overlaps with some of the above however I don't fully understand all the previous comments.

If ugreen driver allocates USB port to say LPT3 I think you can map that to LPT1 as follows.

Set up a RAW printer on LPT3. Generic text only, will be fine as the plot commands are just text. Certainly for HPGL.

Share it as say Raw-Printer

Then:
net use lpt1: "\\computername\Raw-Printer" /persistent:yes

Hopefully your app can then print to LPT1 and it will go to LPT3.

I think (99%) this will work on a single computer. If it doesn't you can put the printer on another PC.

Some links and stuff-
Google - change windows printer to lpt1:
