Rename Printer in Windows Using PowerShell

To rename a printer in Windows, use the `Rename-Printer` command in PowerShell. The Rename-Printer command changes the printer name of the specified printer on a computer.

Here is the PowerShell script that renames the specified printer on a Windows system.

Rename-Printer -Name "Follow-me-HP" -NewName "HP Printer" 

In the above PowerShell script, the Rename-Printer command uses the Name parameter to specify the current name of the printer and the –NewName parameter to specify the new name.

The output of the above PowerShell script renames the “Follow-me-HP” printer name to “HP Printer“.
