Can I change the name of the printer in the Windows 2000/2003 application session?

Not really. When printers are created in a:

• Windows 2000 session they have the format "printer_name/Tarantella/Session number", for example:
  
  HP LaserJet 8000 Series PS/Tarantella/Session 1
• Windows 2003 session they have the format "printer_name (from Tarantella) in session number", for example:
  
  HP LaserJet 8000 Series PS (from Tarantella) in session 1

You can change the "Tarantella" part of the printer name by editing the /opt/tarantella/var/serverresources/expect/wcpwts.exp login script. By adding a -netbiosname "name" argument for the ttatsc command, for example -netbiosname "IndigoInsurance", you can change the name the printer name in the example above to:

HP LaserJet 8000 Series/PS/IndigoInsurance/Session 1

Note The name can only be 15 characters long. If you use more than 15 characters, the name will be truncated.

If you are using Secure Global Desktop PDF printing, the printer_name for the Secure Global Desktop PDF printers are "Universal PDF" and "Print to Local PDF File". You can amend these names:

• for the entire array by running the following commands:
  
  tarantella config edit --printing-pdfprinter printer_name (for "Universal PDF")
  
  tarantella config edit --printing-pdfviewer printer_name (for "Print to Local PDF File")
• for an organization, organizational unit or person object (user-specific printing configuration must be enabled) by running the following commands:
  
  tarantella object edit --name name --pdfprinter printer_name (for "Universal PDF")
  
  tarantella object edit --name name --pdfviewer printer_name (for "Print to Local PDF File")
