It is interesting you say this is a bug and that the printer name cannot
be change, because somehow I figured out how to change the names. I
think I went into the /etc directory somewhere and renamed some files
and grepped some configs. My printers are now renamed (ex post facto),
and they still seem to work.

Maybe I dorked something, but I haven't dealt with any consequences
just yet. However, the best thing would be to allow the user to select
a name when the printer is created. In fact, I thought the UI did
"allow" such a thing, but that it just ignored whatever you entered and
named the new printer "PostScript-1" or something, but I may be a little
fuzzy on this.
