For manually changing the printer name in current Ubuntu (12.04),
in addition to editing the name in /etc/cups/printers.conf
you need to rename the respective .ppd file in /etc/cups/ppd/

Alternatively, you may simply use the GUI. 
Go to System Settings -> Hardware | Printers,
select the printer, click on its name, and edit it.

You may also point your browser at http://localhost:631/printers
to configure your printer, but I did not find a 'rename' option there.
