Brother MFC-L2710 - Change printers name on network?
« on: October 22, 2021, 04:42:52 PM »
I share a network with others we both have the same Brother MFC-L2710 printer. As a result, we end up sending print jobs to the "wrong" printer. I know that you can change the name of the printer as seen on my computer. Is there a way to change the name for anyone connecting through the network? Alternatively, can I make my printer invisible to other users? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

You can probably change the host name on the printer's web page.

You need to change the share name not the hostname.
