Hello,

We have several of these printers on our network here at our company of ~ 45 people. When we want to add a printer, it would be nice to not have to go to the printer to find its name. Isn't there a way to change it at the printer?  It seems like a logical feature for the 21st century. 

 

Thanks,

Stan

I copied our network admin on the post. He informed me it was taken care of, but had forgotten to tell us.

For anyone else reading this, you can achieve this by changing the HOST name of the printer in the network settings of the printer.
