Hi, if you refer to a Windows PC, it cannot be changed from the printer itself.

 

Once installing the HP software for a printer, complete the installation and then go to Devices and Printers.

Right-click the printer and select Printer Properties. Change the printer name and confirm.

Note: it may take several minutes fir the printer name to update.

 

Next, open your printer software and select Tools, then click Printer Setup & Software and connect the next printer, change it name the same way.

 

Any printer will be renamed for Printing, open the printer software and select the required printer name for scanning.

You would need to rename the names manually on each and any computer from Printer Properties, as said it cannot be changed from the printer.
