Local Printer Just for rename printer

Something like this should work (untested):

$WMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\cimv2")
$aPrinters = $WMI.ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_Printer Where DeviceID = 'HP'")

 For $element in $aPrinters
  $element.RenamePrinter("ArtDepartmentPrinter")
 Next

"No worked" doesn't exactly tell us much, does it What error are you seeing?

Dear, Thanks for your help, I have one printer only for the system, but I need to change the printer name to "PrinterA","PrinterB" or PrinterC..etc.because the system printing is point to Server database "printer Name", this is for client use.

You still haven't told us what "No worked" means. What error are you receiving when you run the code I supplies in post #7?
