Nope. The LaserWriter name is one of the user-settable parameters in the
LW EEPROM. There is shellscript called "setprintername" in the "etc"
directory of the TranScript distribution that sets the name to whatever
you want. Part of the Sun's TranScript installation script sets the name
of the printer to "Sun LaserWriter". I, for example, have renamed my two
LW's to "CMT Programmer Printer" and "CMT Office Printer".
