Can't rename a shared printer

I'm not sure if this is an XP question or has more to do with our Win 2000
Server.

We have some shoddy Quicken 2004 software on an XP Pro workstation that is
trying to print to a shared printer on another workstation. Unfortunately,
Quicken has a bug where it won't recognize a printer with the word "on" in
the name. Win 2000 automatically assigns all network printers a name that
includes "on" (for example, the printer I'm trying to send to is
automatically called "Lexmark 321 on WS11").

Is there any way to rename this printer on the XP WS? Is there some way to
install it as a local printer by setting up a virtual port? If so, how is
that done with XP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated....
