I uploaded a printer to casper admin -

display name; testPrinterXerox Phaser
PPD; testPrinterXerox Phaser.ppd

the self service policy that installs the printer also installs the driver.

I want to change the printer name to clear up user confusion (they want B&W or Color in the name)

When I changed the display name to testPrinterXerox Color.

display name; testPrinterXerox Color
PPD; testPrinterXerox Phaser.ppd

I run the policy and the printer installs, the driver installs, everything works the same as before. I look at system preferences --> Printers & Scanners = the printer is there with the new name but the driver does not get setup correctly ? Its not using the driver that is setup for it.

would just renaming the printer in casper admin kill this ?

Do i have to add the printers again (with my updated names) and upload them to casper admin once again???

even when i rename the printer back to its original name

display name; testPrinterXerox Phaser
PPD; testPrinterXerox Phaser.ppd

and run the policy again, the print driver does not get assigned correctly. it gets no driver even though the driver gets installed.
