I have two printers same HP8600 on net and rename a.

In our House, we have two HP8600 printers on the same local network.

Both installed on WiFI, each with a separate address to HP eprint added.

This creates a lot of trouble, identifying whitch to send to / scan etc.

Only a few programs / applications can handle all the details and often we just see two printers, both called HP Officejet Pro 8600!

Since we use a multitude of PC (win 7) MacBook, iPad, iPhone, etc, we need a change of name built into the printer and not installed on each of our devices.

Is it possible to rename the database name for example: HP Officejet Pro 8600 A and HP Officejet Pro 8600 B?

Hi Anderstroi,

I understand you are trying to change the name of your printer.  In fact, I got the same problem here at work with four different 8600 and of course, I always choose one that is across the room.   I am tired of doing this, so I changed the name of the printer.   Try the procedure described below, it should solve your problem.

1. open the internet browser type printer IP address.

2 should bring you to the status of the printer page.

3. Select the tab network at the top.

4 on the left side under Advanced settings select Hello.

5. under the name of Service Hello change that to something you want.

6. Select apply.

Let me know how it goes.

* If you find this useful or mean please make sure you click on the White Star under my name to give me congratulations. **
