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 re-select it (or

 

 

create a new desktop printer icon if you are using QuickDraw GX).

 

 

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

 

 

the printer.
