CUPS doesn't have a single rename command. Instead, you must add a new printer with the desired name and delete the old one (while preserving settings). This is counterintuitive for beginners but perfectly functional. The review covers two methods: command line ( lpadmin ) and the web UI ( localhost:631 ).

9/10 – This is the recommended method. It's simple, safe, and does exactly what you expect. cups rename printer
