Help with HP 640c printer

I need a help with the following.
I am really not sure how, but I managed to install my HP 640c printer in the LPT1 port instead of USB1 port. Although the printer shows up in the Control panel, it says it's offline and even if I try to print a test page nothing happens. What do I do please?
Many thanks
