    Thank you for reply.

    but that is not my purpose.

    i just want to rename it like "HP1120" delete "on 172.20.X.X"

    the above method you supplied that the words "on 172.20.X.X" will be deleted ?

    Hi @贤毅 童 ,

    You can rename it by using the following method.

    Click Start button, type Devices and Printers and select same from the list.

    Right-click a printer, and then click Printer properties.

    Click the Sharing tab, and then type the new name in the text box.

    Click Apply/OK.
