Renaming a Printer

In Category: Printer

It's easy to rename a printer in Windows XP. Just click the "Start" menu and choose "Printers and Faxes". When the "Printers and Faxes" window appears, click on the name of the printer you wish to rename. Press the F2 key and type in the printer's new name.

This may be useful if you deal with multiple printers on a network. Instead of seeing a non-descriptive printer name such as "Epson Stylus Color 880", you can name it something like "Color Printer in Mailroom".
