Unless I mis-remember, you're going to need to go into the Chooser, 
select the printer, and a dialog should appear with a "setup" or maybe 
"options" button for you to hit. Hit it and you should be able to rename 
the printer to something a bit more "senior friendly".

(The printer stores its own name, among other things, in on-board NVRAM)
