Network Printer Name is wrong
Certain printers don't display correctly in Devices And Printers.  When installing a Network Printer from the print/printers webpage the Name (RHS-ENGBW-P) is correct on the Webpage and on the 2012 Print Server but after it is installed the Name changes to "HP LaserJet P4015 Series".  If you right click on the Network Printer you can still see the Name and Sharing Name are still RHS-ENGBW-P but the display name in Devices and Printers is still "HP LaserJet P4015 Series".  Please correct this since we cannot deploy Windows 8 machines in our School District until this problem is fixed.  This problem started when trying Windows 8 in a Lab environment and was hopeful the problem would've been fixed in Windows 8.1.

Hi,

I think it is related to your printer driver. Please delete all printer drivers completely, then reinstall the correct one manually.

I have updated the driver to a different one and it fixed the issue.  Good call on it being a driver issue.  Thanks.
