HP Recommended
Product: MFP M281
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and older

How do I change the HP printer name that shows up in my iPhone to choose which printer I want to print to. I have two MFP M281 printers, one in each of two different rooms, and need to distinguish between them when  choosing to print an email or document or webpage from an iPhone. Both printers currently come up showing the same manufacturer and model number.  I want to choose which of the two printers based upon the location.

 

Yesterday I asked this same question for Windows 10. The discussion board provided me the perfect solution, but it does not solve it for the printer names showing up in an iPhone as options to print to.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

Tap the Ethernet or WiFi icon on the top side of the pritner screen, then tap the active connection type.

Locate the printer IP address and browse to this address from any web browser of a device connected to the same network as the printer.

 

Open the Network tab.

 

Under Bonjour / AirPrint, there you may change the name displayed on your iPhone..
