Enable to make the printer name drop down list or the whole property pane broader, in order to be able to distinguish the similar long names of the printers in the new CA user interface as well

Description of the issue: if the printer names are too long and similar, it is not possible to distinguish them in the new CA user interface simply and at the first look.

    Yes, it is true, there is a tooltip, but it is not very handy to check every abailable printer with the tooltip (if this printer is the right one), especially if there are a lot of them available. Moreover tooltip shows only the network path, in case the field with the name of the printer shows more user friedly name of it as well. I know, that there is a workaround with the classical view, but it would be nice to be able to have a look at the printer name/path easily and at once in the new CA interface as well.

    We do have a tooltip that appears today when you hover over a printer name from the drop down of printers in the scheduling UI. Could you expand a bit more on the use case for expanding it?
