I have multiple computers connected wirelessly to my 9510. If I wish to scan using the printer touch pad to a computer it asks me to select one. Trouble is the names of the computers listed are difficult to remember which computer is which. For example it says Scan to DESKTOP - NRTZRR7. I would like to rename these designations to be clearer which computer I'm scanning to.

@Thomas035, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
The printer detects the name of the computers. The name change has to be done on the computer.
- Open Settings and go to System > About(at the bottom).
- In the About menu, you should see the name of your computer next to PC name and a button that says Rename PC. Click this button.
- Type the new name for your computer. You can use letters, numbers, and hyphens -- no spaces. Then click Next.
- Restart the PC to check the change.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
