Call it Printy McPrintface if you like

When you add a printer in Windows 10, it is given a default name. The manufacturer's name, such as Brother or Canon, followed by the model number of that specific device. This can be confusing if you have multiple printers on the same network. If you only have one printer, you can give it a name that is easier to recognize.

If you have more than one, one printer may be useful for printing photos, while another may be better suited for printing documents. It may help to rename your printers in Windows 10, such as “photo printer” and “document printer.” This can help alleviate the headache of figuring out which one to choose later. Plus, it can help your family select printers when those printers have simplified names.

There are a couple of ways to rename a printer in Windows 10. You can do this through the Windows 10 settings or the Control Panel.
