There is a laserwriter utility (runs in MacOS) that
you can use to change the AppleTalk name of the
printer. I forget the details. I have a copy somewhere
on a server at work. If I can find it. I will post the
exact name of the utility. Good Luck!

I got this printer from a friend, I don't know how he
gave the name to 
the printer. I think you need some extra software
under macOS to give 
it 
another name I presume.
