Renaming Printers on a RM Network

[netad]

HI

I Have just inherited a RM Network to manage and i need to rename all the printers, is it as simple as renaming the Share or do i need to add them back to the computers using the RM Console?

 

Thanks for any Help

Hi,

 

We don't have an RM network, and I haven't worked on one since Connect 2.4. However, if I had a question like this on our network I might try renaming a printer that has less impact across the network (my own networked printer for example) to see if the renaming idea would be viable.

Hi DaveP thanks for the reply I would do that normally but I am on holiday and only have 1 day to do it when I get back, just want to get a plan of attack ready for when I am home

Ah, OK. I think I will bow out of this thread. Good luck. I hope you find an answer.

I will duck in... We need to do this so I will let you know how I get on. I am renaming all computers at present so also need to rename printers.

When are you in? If I don't reply in a weeks time, Nudge me via PM and I will let you know.

 

I believe it is a case of renaming the printer share as you say on the print server, this is then populated across.

Hi Rad I am back next Monday . Hoping it is just a case of renaming it on the share

You should just be able to rename the Printer and the allocation will remain as previous on the location.

@Sylv3r thank you and yes it is. At the time of my reply I was on holiday. I have PM'd @netad the info required.
