I own 2 identical printers, in different locations. How can I change the names seen in the HP Smart app so I can differentiate them? I know how to do this on a laptop, but cannot figure out how to change names on an iphone or ipad.

Thank you for your excellent instructions, but when I press on the green check mark, the menu that pops up does not have “Options”, then “rename printer.” I can find a place for Printer name in the Printer Information, but it will not allow me to change it.
I was able to make a name change as I Added the second printer to the App. I had not actually added the second one yet.

OK, checked...
I won't be able to direct you further.
At this writing, using: iPad Pro 12.9 5th - running iPadOS V15.5
I suspect that true iOS is simply different - I have no way to check (unfortunate Android phone).
Example - HP Smart - Mobile - Settings List - iPadOS - App version 9.3
