I changed the registry name of the printer, exported the registry, created a batch file to import the registry and restart printer spooler/ Citrix Print Management, logon script. All customer wants is for the redirected printer to show the same name as local printer.īeing asked for support on the spot, I decided to go the easiest but longest way. If you decide to enable legacy printer naming using Citrix policies, you would get a redirected printer name Client\clientname\PRINTER.
Now for those of you familiar with Citrix XD, USB printers by default are redirected with a name PRINTER NAME (from clientname) with clientname being the device hostname you are connecting from. My colleague currently POCing XenDesktop VDI to a customer received a requirement related to one printer which is USB redirected and had to have a specific name in virtual desktops for in-house application to successfully print. You can also change the Name of Printer in Windows 10 by using Control panel.This is by no means a script 🙂 never the less the logic is so simple that it could be a life saver for certain projects with very specific printing naming requirements.
On Printer Properties screen, select the General tab > change Name of the printer and click on OK to save the New Name.Īfter this, you will this Printer appearing with its New Name in print dialog screen. On the next screen, click on Printer Properties link. In the right-pane, select the Printer that you want to rename and click on the Manage button. Go to Settings > Devices > select Printers & scanners in the left-pane. The easiest way to change Printer Name in Windows 10 is by using the Settings App. This can lead to more confusion, if your computer is connected to two or more printers from the same manufacturer.Įven if your computer is not connected to multiple printers, you may still want to Change the Name of your Printer to something that you can easily relate to. Also, the default tendency in Windows 10 is to name printers using Make and Model Number of the printer.
