I have a Apple Printer Utility 2.2 on my hard drive and the Read Me
indicates that it will, among other things, rename a printer. Here is
part of the Read Me:
Apple Printer Utility Version 2.2
The Apple Printer Utility is a program that allows the configuration and
administration of PostScript printers.
Printer Sup****t
The Apple Printer Utility 2.2 program works with all Apple PostScript
Level 1, PostScript Level 2, and PostScript 3 printers...
You might find this application on the Apple Sup****t Site, but if not,
I'll be pleased to provide you with a copy.
It works with System 7.1.1 or later which means, I suppose, that it
should be run under Classic or an OS previous to OS X.
