How to rename a CUPS printer?
-
Stop CUPS Service. For openSUSE using
systemd
there are three services to stop (cups.path
,cups.service
, andcups.socket
). -
Edit
/etc/cups/printers.conf
and replace the old-name text with the new one. (appears only once). -
Rename drivers: In
etc/cups/ppd
there are "drivers" named like the printer, so if you change the printer name, also rename the driver files. -
Start the services.
