    Win10 - how to change printer displayed name?

    Key item:

    In step 2, right click on the printer you want to rename, then choose "PRINTER PROPERTIES" RATHER THAN "PROPERTIES".

    For some reason, "Printer - right click - Properties" only displays the properties while "Printer - right click - Printer Properties" allows the user to change some properties, such as the name.

    (Yes, these are different options with similar names when you right click on your "printer". It took me multiple tries before I figured out that there were two and that they were different.)

    Microsoft Windows 11 Installing printers with different names.

    Printer driver unavailable after printer install in windows 10

    Hi,

    I would suggest reinstalling the printer's legacy drivers.

    Here are the complete steps to do so,

    1. Press Windows+R and type in control printers

    2. Right click the printer with the issue and choose properties

    3. Go to the web services tab, save and copy the IP address under troubleshooting information as a reference to the printer's IP address

    4. Close the window and right click the same printer

    5. Choose to remove device

    6. Go to start/search and type in hdwwiz.exe and open the application

    7. Choose the option "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list

    8. Locate printer and choose next

    9. Choose to create a new port and choose standard tcp/ip port

    10. On the hostname type in the IP address from the printer that you've saved from step 3

    11. Choose the option "Replace the current driver"

    12. Choose printer name

    13. Choose the option "Share this printer so that others on your network can find and use it.

    14. Let the printer install for 5 minutes
