I have 2 printers on my home wlan. One upstairs and one downstairs. Since they are the same brand and the models differ by just one numeral it is difficult to differentiate which printer to select in Windows 10.
Is it possible to give these printers alternative names so they are more easily identified in the W10 printer selection dialog?
Nothing I tried.works to change the printer names. Is there a way?
Thanks.
EDIT: Follow Shawn Brink's tutorial on how to do it. Much more in-depth and easier to follow than my steps. Check his post below.
1) Search for, and open, Control Panel
2) Under Hardware and Sound, press: View devices and printers
3) Right click on the printer, and press: Printer properties
4) From here you can rename the printer.
That's how I could rename my printer. Hopefully that works for you too.
