    Change network printer name in Windows 10


    In our company we have a network printer which has an ethernet connection and a web based interface for configuration.

    If I have installed drivers for this printer on two computers, A and B, and on the computer B I change the printer name via


    Control Panel -> Devices and Printers -> Printer Properties

    does it break the connection from the printer to the computer A, or will it only change the name locally for the computer B?


    Thank you.

    :)

  2. How do I change the network adapter name? (Windows 10)

    Press Windows Key + R, type secpol.msc and press Enter to run it. In Local Security Policy window, go to the Network List Manager Policies in the left pane. Now in the right pane double click on the network name that you want to change. In the Properties windows under the Name section make sure that Name is selected. Now in the input field enter the name that you wish to use for your connection. Click Apply then OK to save the changes. And you might have to log in again or to restart your computer before the changes are applied.
