Can the printer name be changed in Windows 2000?  Currently users that have
more than one printer will see the queue and server i.e. Q_FD1 on Server.
Can I change this to be more meaningful for the users?

START -> SETTINGS -> PRINTERS -> RIGHT CLICK ON PRINTER -> SELECT RENAME -> TYPE IN NEW NAME AND HIT ENTER -> RIGHT CLICK ON PRINTER -> SELECT SHARING -> ENTER NEW NAME IN SHARING BOX AND CLICK OK
