Windows 11/10中提供的内置选项来完成。这篇文章涵盖了所有这些选项，并提供了重命名打印机的分步说明，包括称为Microsoft Print to PDF的内置虚拟打印机。您可以使用设置^(Settings)、控制面​​板^{(Control Panel)}、PowerShell或命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}在Windows 11/10中更改打印机^(Printer)的名称。

设置应用程序包含打印机^(Printers)和扫描仪的单独页面。您可以访问该页面，然后继续重命名打印机。

要使用“设置”^(Settings)应用重命名打印机：^(Printer)

这将使用“常规”^(General)选项卡打开该打印机的“属性”窗口^{(Properties window)}。

在那里您将看到名称字段。

现在您可以输入您喜欢的任何名称并使用“确定”按钮^(OK)应用^(Apply)并保存更改。

2]使用Windows 11/10中的控制面板^{(Control Panel)}重命名打印机^{(Rename Printer)}名称

使用控制面板^{(Control Panel)}重命名打印机^(Printer)：

打印机属性^{(Printer Properties)}框将打开常规^(General)选项卡。在名称字段中，输入所需的名称并保存。

您的打印机名称将成功更改。

3] 在Windows 11/10中使用PowerShell更改^(Change)打印机^(Printer)的名称

Windows PowerShell允许您使用两个简单的命令重命名打印机。

首先，您需要打开一个提升的 PowerShell^{(open an elevated PowerShell)}。

现在，使用以下命令获取已安装打印机的列表：

Get-printer | Format-List name

您可以看到所有打印机的名称。复制或记住要重命名的打印机的名称。

现在，您需要运行一个包含打印机新名称^{(new name)}和old/current name的命令，就像上图中突出显示的第二个命令一样。命令是：

Rename-printer -NewName “New Name of Printer” -Name “Current or Old Name of Printer”

这将立即更改该打印机的名称。

4] 在Windows 11/10命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}更改打印机^{(Change Printer)}名称

命令提示符^{(Command Prompt)}还可以帮助您使用两个简单的命令重命名打印机。在第一个命令中，您可以看到所有可用打印机的名称。并且，第二个命令使用VBS脚本重命名打印机。

第一步，您必须以管理员身份运行命令提示符^{(run the Command Prompt as an administrator)}。

之后，使用以下命令打开打印机列表：

现在您知道要重命名的打印机名称。移动^(Move)到第二步。

执行以下命令重命名您的打印机：

Cscript C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prncnfg.vbs -z “New Name of Printer” -x -p “Current Name of Printer”

只需在命令中添加打印机的新名称和现有名称，它就会重命名该打印机。

这是在Windows 11/10中重命名打印机的方法。

所有选项和步骤都非常简单。使用您喜欢的任何选项并将默认打印机名称更改为您选择的自定义名称。

Here are the steps for Windows 10 users.

The settings app contains a separate page for Printers & scanners. You can access that page and then proceed further to rename a printer.

To Rename a Printer using the Settings app:

3. Select the Printers & scanners page.
4. On the right-hand side, you will see the list of available printers and scanners.

3] Change the name of a Printer using PowerShell in Windows 11/10

Windows PowerShell lets you rename a printer using two simple commands.

First of all, you need to open an elevated PowerShell.

Now, get the list of installed printers using the following command:

The name of all printers will be visible to you. Copy or remember the name of the printer you want to rename.

Now, you need to run a command that will contain the new name and the old/current name of your printer, just like the second command highlighted in the image above. The command is:

Rename-printer -NewName “New Name of Printer” -Name “Current or Old Name of Printer”

This will change the name of that printer immediately.

4] Change Printer name using Command Prompt in Windows 11/10

Command Prompt also helps you rename a printer with two simple commands. In the first command, you can see the names of all available printers. And, the second command uses a VBS script to rename a printer.

In the first step, you have to run the Command Prompt as an administrator.

After that, open the list of printers using this command:

wmic printer list brief

Now you know the printer name that you want to rename. Move to the second step.

Execute the following command to rename your printer:

Cscript C:\Windows\System32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prncnfg.vbs -z “New Name of Printer” -x -p “Current Name of Printer”

Just add a new name and existing name of your printer in the command and it will rename that printer.
