You've got the same version I have.  So, here's a way to do what you want.

Get a copy of a PostScript download utility, such as SendPS (or Word 4.0),
and download (print) the following PostScript program to the printer you
wish to rename:

	serverdict begin 0 exitserver
	statusdict begin
	    (LaserWriter IINT) setprintername
	    /Helvetica-Bold findfont 20 scalefont setfont
	    72 386 moveto
	    (My name is ) show
	    32 string printername show
	end
	showpage

Hope this helps.
