Network Printer Naming Conventions

Hello,

Have any of you given any thought to printer naming conventions for network printers?

The companies I have worked for in the past have all had different formats, but none of them have exactly been brilliant.

If you have large offices with lots of departments, you can use names like ‘Finance_HP5-A’ or B or C if there are multiples.

The company I have recently joined has many small sites, some with one 2 or 3 printers, but there isn’t any naming convention at all, which makes showing all the printers in AD a bit of a mess.

Would like to suggest a new format, but just wondered if any of you have good names for your network printers.

Many thanks for any of your comments.
