  • Usually such printers have a web GUI running on port 80 that allows to configure a lot of stuff. AFAIK also the printer name.

  • @Robert Correct, they have a GUI, but I can only seem to adjust the NetBIOS name and Node name. I've adjusted both but they don't reflect on the names used by Windows.

  • Are your computers configured to directly print over IP to the printer? Because usually a printer server is used and there you could define the printer names once and make them valid for every other computer.

  • We add the printers to Windows by simply clicking "Add a printer or scanner" in Settings, so I'm guessing direct print over IP. We don't have a printer server in place.
