@jwcph (I am sadly not very surprised that HP support didn't know how to do this.)

@jwcph I believe on HP printers it's configured by HP Web Jetadmin or your EWS, via:

- "System Name" or "Host Name" in the EWS (pp 134)
- IPX/SPX name (pp 503)
- Bonjour Service Name (pp 497/507)

That should work for most OSes, I think. It is of course totally different for different brands of printer

@jwcph although now that i think about it, while I sympathize with these problems generally, I'm not sure what you're talking about with the specific examples? Source-renaming a printer is usually possible within the printer's native admin UI, I guess you're saying that there's no standard for it? And MacOS does show me what file I'm copying, if I have a half a dozen copies going (not an unusual situation for me, as even the fastest NAS interface is still pretty sluggish) I see them in a list

@jwcph don't even get me started on the menu of devices I have available in CarPlay, which is to say:

- HONDA
- HONDA
- HONDA

I was going to get excited about "Automations for External Displays" but it turns out that is just "an external display is connected" and not a specific external display. I could probably hack something together with the "Find Displays" action, and then identify it by name…

Right in the official printable full release notes <https://www.apple.com/os/pdf/All_New_Features_macOS_Tahoe_Sept_2025.pdf>,

"Powerline glyphs
With built-in support for Powerline glyphs,
you can now add informative status bars
and prompts to your experience."

I have been avoiding Powerline because I do NOT want a new attack vector in my fonts, so this is exciting

#macOS Tahoe only has 3 new shell commands over Sequoia as far as I can tell:

1. avbcapture "Audio Video Bridging traffic capture tool"
2. lesskey, a command from `less` which appears to have been deprecated before it was even added
3. memacct, no man page, --help says "Monitor memory accounting of various subsystems". Not entirely clear what it's for.

Overall pretty dull for CLI folks.

BUT…
