UNC to local Printer?

We are running software that has a config file that points its printing to printer on a server, using this code:

<add key="ReportPrinterName1" value="\\CBC-1\HP P4015x - Return Copy" />

I'd like to test this software using local printers, rather than ones on the print server. So I need to change the UNC after the value=

What would the local UNC path be to a local printer of the same name 'HP P4014z - Return Copy". Also, does having spaces cause any problems with UNC's in general?

Thanks.

Yep, that's about it...  you should use the name of the printer as it appears in your "Printers and Faxes" control panel applet.
Nope, I've never had problems with spaces in printer names
