do you have the installation disk that came with the epson? if not go to the epson website and download the drivers for the printer. install the drivers BEFORE plugging in the printer and it will let you choose to install it as a USB printer.

Do I let install on the default LPT1 port though or do I assign it a new port?

are you installing from the CD or the driver download? if it's going to connect to your computer via USB then it needs to be installed on USB. if the printer is USB capable, then the driver installer package will have that as an option

USB Printers don't use LPT port assignments, the install program will effectively create a USB software port on the machine that it'll then use to communicate with said printer.
The most important thing to do with any USB printer is run the CD first, then plug it in when it asks you to. Don't plug it in then run the CD because it won't work.
