JSI Tip 2772. Windows 2000 issues: 'The Printer Name Is Invalid, it Cannot Contain "!", "\", ",".'?

When you try to change printer properties, you receive the subject error?
If you upgraded from a previous operating system that supports printer names which include !, \, or ,, you will receive this error, as Windows 2000 does NOT allow these characters in a printer name.

Rename the printer.
