Share Name, Printer Name and display name for End User

$

We are being forced to standardize printer names.  So, for example, a printer that is on the print server might have the following properties:

NAME: PR25739

SHARE NAME: Clinic Admin Office

SERVER NAME: A700500

The share name seems to be pointless - almost vestigial.  When a user maps to the printer, it is named (on their device) PR25739 on A700500.  They can't change it, I can't change it - indeed, the Name field is disabled during the Install Printer Wizard.  The whole point of the share name, to me, is to make something that is user-friendly with context and useful information.  But the sharename seems to be completely ignored.  Is there any setting I can change that will make this printer map so that it is displayed to the user as Clinic Admin Office or even Clinic Admin Office on A700500?  Solutions that must take place on the EUD are not solutions - the name needs to be correct out of the box.

Thanks.
