Renaming the Printer

If you are going to rename the printer, do this before selecting the printer in the Chooser. If you rename the printer after selecting it in the Chooser, you will have to go back into the Chooser and reselect it.

Use the Set Printer Name feature in the HP LaserJet Utility to rename the printer.
