It looks like that may be the case but I'd prefer to keep it separate unless it's true that cups simply doesn't allow a name change on a printer. Bug #8023 has diverted and appears to really be about choosing the name in the first place now (which would be good enough in many cases).
If it is not possible to rename a printer in cups I would prefer this bug be moved against cups rather than marked as duplicate of Bug #8023. -- No UI to rename a printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/41401 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
