the following:

–or–
Use Previous Search. Select a search that the installer has previously
performed from a drop-down list.
NOTE: Examples of printers that may not appear on the discovered printers list or search results,
regardless of operating system, include printers connected to a different subnet or printers on a
print queue.
Using the discovered printers list, IP address, or DNS name to identify the printer results in the creation of a
local print queue, while using the UNC name associates the printer with an existing queue.
If you enter an invalid IP address or device discovery fails, the Select Printer Configuration dialog appears
and enables you to choose the correct driver to install from the list of supported printers.
