I'm pretty sure not. If you change the name, hows the client suppose to
find them? Your best bet would be to use a script to either redirect the
printers or delete and re-add them with the new name.
Might work for you to install the printers. Just push it down in a
script. I'm not sure how to remove the old ones though. There may be
some other options to the same command that will do it. I know that
google will not lead you astray on this one.

Is there any way I can easily rename all the network printers in the
department (~100) without it affecting clients?
