One last try to kindly ask you if anyone knows a solution for this scenario. 🙂
- dcypher8May 14, 2021Copper ContributorGo to Control Panel, click Devices and Printers. Right click the printer and choose Printer Properties. You can change the name from there.
- PatrickF11May 14, 2021MCTAt the client side this is a known workaround but my approach should rename the printers at the server-side, so that the clients are presented with the correct names.
The printer name in the printer properties is already okay, but when the client tries to fetch the available printers, the names are like "HP XYZ series" and not with the naming syntax we've choosen.
