In practice, you just change the device's name in its web ui. Then it's starts advertising the new name, and the old name stops working. If you have enough of a model of this to change the name, you also know enough to select the printer under it's new name. Of course it would be nice if we could have it publish some kind of announcement about the name change.

If we have expectation of somebody configuring their printer with a web UI, why should we not expect
the same for routers, or naming services?

IMO, people don't futz around with things unless there's a reason. But they will if they want/have to. These things need to be dumbed down to be certain, but I've never thought we need to be hamstrung by the assumption of zeroconf just because people don't currently have much of a relationship with their networking gear.
