I want to rename my printers in Instant Ink,

 

I know it is possible as one of my printers managed to get the name I set when it crashed and had be factory reset and reconnected. I've tried duplicating the process on my other printers but they keep the general model number name.

The lack of unique names is causing me to dismiss alerts as it takes 10m+ every time to match up notices to the correct account and printer by using a list of serial numbers. I have more old desk printers in the offices, but the idea of increasing this confusion makes conventional printers and toner look much better. (Business Instant Ink might be perfect except the only printers supported take much more desk space.)
