Some of the printers on my netork are named "Printer 1"
and "Printer 2". How do I rename them to their make and
model so that I can identify them easily?
 
Go to the PC to which they are attached and into the Control Panel. Right
click the printer in question and look at the Sharing tab. It's the Shared
name you want to change, but keep it to under 12 characters/numbers and NO
SPACES in the name.

I would recommend to go the PC where the printers are
attached (or the server, if a network printer). Go to
Control Panel-Printers, right-click on the printers you
want, go to Properties, at the General tab above Location
and Comments you can change the printer name (which is
displayed when you go to File-Print). Remember, if you
change the share name, which is under the Sharing tab,
you will have to remap all printers on the network, which
you wouldn't want to do.
