Change Printer Name

How do I change the name of my printer so I know on my iPad to which printer I am sending a document to? I went on and changed it on HP utility, but it still shows up as the same name as the other printer in the house and I can't differentiate to the one downstairs and the one upstairs on my iPad.

Hi Carson325
1) In 10.7 go to the Apple Icon at the top of the screen. Then select System Preferences and then Print and Scan:
2) In the Print and Scan pane CTRL/Control/Right click on the printer you want to rename. A manu will appear like this one:
3) Then select "Rename Printer".
4) You can then enter a name for your printer and even a location!
5) Click "OK" to confirm.
I hope that helps.
Kind regards
Lawrence

We installed a new router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print.

Our cable company installed a new wireless router and changed the name of the router. Now my HP C4500 printer won't print from my laptop.
I can't find any ot the Set Up stuff I used initially.
Is there any way to get my printer to work again...wirelessly?

Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. When you start the installation it will ask what kind of installation you would like. Choose "Wireless" or "Network" then click "Next".
Eventually it will ask you to plug in a USB cable to the printer temporarily to communicate the new router's info to the printer. Make sure to not plug in the USB until it asks.

Changed network name and now e-print e-mail address doesn't work

I have a 6500A Plus Deskjet. I have an hpconnected account and changed my e-print e-mail address to something I would remember. Then I changed the name of my network. I have to get a new claim code ..... I enter it and when I try to choose my e-print addrss, it says that it is already been taken. I was on the hp site within a half an hour of changing my network name.

Hi rfmal1,
Thank you for joining the HP Support Forums. I understand that you needed to set up the ePrint feature of your Officejet 6500A after changing the name of your network.
Your previous ePrint email address will not be available, once an ePrint email address has been used it is no longer available to be claimed again. I am sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.

Change the printer name

How can I change the network printer names?

What model printer is it?
Generally speaking, Bonjour can't help you with renaming. It is a "service discovery" protocol.
But if you tell us the model, someone may be able to help with renaming.

Change Network Name of Wireless Printer

We have several Officejet Pro 8600 in our building. We are printing from them wirelessly, and need to change the name of the printers so that we know which is which. How can I change the network name of a printer?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You can RIGHT CLICK on the printer in DEVICES AND PRINTERS. It will have a RENAME tab that you can choose to change the name.
You will have to do that on EACH COMPUTER in the building. The printer itself has a HOST name, and that is the NETWORK name.
That's just about the only way you could change the name of the printers.
I hope this helps.

To change the printer name

Hi,
I have a requirement to change the printer name when the user tries to send the invoice with the same o/p type second time also.How to change the printer name?

We have a field in NAST table which tells us whether the copy is printed for the first time or more then once. Read the value basing on the output type (i.e., Message type in nast table)
Now in your driver program & modify the parameter OPTIONS that are passed to function module OPEN_FORM, goto Option and pass your printer name according to your requirement.
Ex: if <print> = 1.
<printer name> = 'XXX'.
if <print> GT 1.
<printer name> = 'YYY'
Close the thread once your question is answered.

Printer name change

MY photo software can't print to a printer name greater than 31 characters. No problem with USB name but printer name for wireless has "(network)" after it making it too long. How can I change the printer file name in the PC printer menu?

Open the Printer and Faxes folder. Right-click on your printer. Select Rename, and name the printer what you need. That should be all you have to do.

Hp Deskjet 1010 Printer name change

I tired to change the name of my printer. This is the message I keep getting, "Printer properties cannot be displayed. Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network". Someone please help. I think I messed something up.

Welcome to the forums Tonya!
I noticed your post about how you tried to rename the printer.
Which operating system are you running and have you tried Uninstalling the Printer Software and reinstalling it? That should do the trick for you!
If you are running Windows, you can also run the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Please let me know and I will certainly look into this some more for you!

Changing AppleTalk printer name

I have a Personal LaserWriter 4/600PS and I need to have its name changed. Unfortunately, I no longer have a machine that runs OS9. I have a MacBook Pro that can only boot into OS X. This printer is originally a LocalTalk printer. I us a Farallon Ethernet bridge so that I can have the printer talking to the ethernet port of the computer. This is what the setup looks like:
Printer <--localtalk-->Ethernet Bridge<--ethernet-->MacBook Pro
Thanks for the help!

If you can cart it to a friend or associate who has a Mac that can run Classic or Mac OS 9, you can change its name. The name and attributes are recorded in a semi-permanent memory inside the printer, and will be retained when you put it back on your own Network.
It also appears that if the name is all you want to change, you can use
System Preferences > Print and Fax > Set Up Printers > (select the printer)
and choose "Show Info" from the "Printers" menu. You will be shown a screen that contains a drop down menu with three sub-screens
• Name and Location
• Model
• Installable Options
On the Name and Location sub-screen the name can be changed, and the button at the bottom will then turn into an "Apply Changes" button.
Most folks are looking to change additional options, such as Startup page Yes/No, Print density, or get page count, which are not settable using these simple Mac OS X screens.

Administrator cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2

Hello, dear Colleagues.
User with administrators rights cannot change printer properties on "Advanced" tab from "Devices and Printers" on Windows Server 2012 R2.
If to launch "Devices and Printers" on server, all printer properties on "Advanced" tab are inactive (see screen below).
But I can change it manually with "Print Management". Features become active.
The main purpose - to uncheck "Enable advanced printing features" with powershell
scripts.
$erroractionpreference = "continue"
$colPrinters = Get-Wmiobject -Class win32_printer -computername print_server -Filter "Name like 'printer1' or Name like 'printer2' or Name like 'printer3' or Name like 'printer4' or Name like 'printer5' or Name like 'printer6'" # get printers on server and filter with names
ForEach ($objPrinter in $colPrinters) { # get printer details from WMI
If ($objPrinter.RawOnly -ne "True") { # check that Advanced printing fetaures is turned on
Write-host $objPrinter.Name
Write-Host $objPrinter.RawOnly
$objPrinter.RawOnly = "True" # Untick and update the object in WMI
$objPrinter.Put()
It works on Windows 7 workstation, but does not on print server Windows Server 2012 R2 with error
Exception calling "Put" with "0" argument(s): "Generic failure "
At \\print_server\c$\DisableAdvancedPrintingFeatures.ps1:8 char:17
+ $objPrinter.Put()
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DotNetMethodException
Can you help me with that? Look like somethings with rights.
Thank you.

Hello, Alan
Morris.
Thanks for your reply.
I've tried to runs PS Script both locally and remotely, previously running Powershell ISE as Administrator.
I've noticed interesting thing - if to
check "Enable advanced printing features"
manually thru Print Management snap-in, script works fine. But, time to time after some manipulations on print server, this advanced feature returns to enabled state automatically by system, I think. In this case PS Script does not work. Next, if to disable
feature manually again (thru Print Management snap-in),
and enable manually again, PS Script will work. Very strange situation.
Thanks.

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.
