If you would like to name the printers on your computer so that they make sense to you, just follow the steps below.

Click On:

1.The hard drive, where all the applications in your computer are located. You’ll find it on the desktop of the computer usually named “My Computer” or “Macintosh HD”

2. Applications

3. Utilities

4. Printer Set Up Utility

5. click on the printer you want to name

6. Show Info
