renaming shared network printer

i have 2 computers named A & B both running using windows 2000, computer A is a working machine while computer B is installed with a virtual printer. I am able to let computer A print on computer B but the problem is... the display in computer A for computer B's printer cannot be renamed and it has added the IP address of computer B on that virtual printer example is "HP840C on 127.0.0.1" i cant rename it on the printers folder of computer A. is there a way to just display HP840C only, i like to make the network printer of computer B appear to computer A as it is like a local printer only.
