From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:



  LPT /L-P-T/ or /lip'it/ or /lip-it'/ n. 1. Line printer (originally
     Line Printing Terminal). Rare under Unix, more common among hackers who
     grew up with ITS, MS-DOS, CP/M and other operating systems that were
     strongly influenced by early {DEC} conventions. 2. Local PorT. Used
     among MS-DOS programmers (and so expanded in the MS-DOS 5 manual). It
     seems likely this is a {backronym}.
