Unable to add printer

[elementaryBot]

If I click Add printer I get the selection dialogue, choose the network printer type and click next. I then get the driver selection screen, but I can't click Add. Also the input is messed up - if you click on name it drops you to the screen behind the window; to select the name you must click further down the screen and then tab back up to the name field.

I used sudo system-config-printers from terminal and it worked without any issues. I suggest replacing the current printer adding process with that one as it seems much more robust currently.

I think we have a user-unfriendly situation here.
If I want to add a network printer, I have "Connection (filled with 'socket'), Description and Position".
I had to use 'system-config-printer' because I couldn't find any way to unblock 'Add'.
Then I discovered that Connection accepts only 'socket://123.456.789.000' and at least a char into Description.
No clues about "socket://" with IP address and putting IP without socket:// doesn't work and it doesn't warn.

A very quick fix should be add a fake IP greyed or a text with instructions.
