Printer names created by cups-browsed are incorrect in RHEL 8

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

Below are the output for lpstat -t from both CUPS server and client, the printer names appear differently in the client side We would like the names on the client and server to be the same. On the CUPS server:

[root@cups-server ~]# lpstat -v
device for zb30: socket://zb30.example.com:9100
device for zb31: socket://zb31.example.com:9100
device for hp01: socket://hp01.example.com:9100

and on the CUPS client:

[root@cups-client ~]# lpstat -v
device for Chicago_Zebra_Printer_10_1_2_3: implicitclass:Chicago_Zebra_Printer_10_1_2_3
device for San_Francisco_Zebra_Printer_10_1_2_3: implicitclass:San_Francisco_Zebra_Printer_10_1_2_3
device for DC_HP_Printer_10_1_2_3: implicitclass:DC_HP_Printer_10_1_2_3
