Thanks to everyone who responded. I was hoping for someone to say "there's
a simple OS setting that can make the 2 different PRNSETUP names act the
same way" (ie, avoid programming) but that is not the case. Didn't think it
would be.
I figured I'd have to program around it, but it's a BIG task given the many
programs that call different printers directly. My client, already uneasy about the
expense of buying new hardware, is more uneasy about the fact that they will
also have to pay for re-programming those hard coded names. Silly of us to think
that Win98 behavior would stick around for later OS changes!

Do you have something like a choose statement where your user picks from a friendly name, then you have a table that
maps to the network share name?
If not, then that possibly is the way to deal with it as the name in the PRNSetup dialog is going to be as you
described.
