Renaming a printer

[Andrew Chalk]

The Internet Printing Protocol has named a newly installed printer "Unknown
on http://192.168.0.7:631". How do I rename it? Is this a registry setting?

Thanks,

Rename it like any file or folder. Highlight it and press F2...

That doesn't work Black. The name is read-only.

You must do this as the "administrator" of that PC and on the PC that
controls the printer.

I renamed my printer from "frustrating pile of junk" to "worthless
piece of crap" shortly before I bought a new printer.

I am logged in as administrator and on the local machine.
