I'm trying to add/connect to printers through samba, and tried to go through the "Add Printer Wizard" by clicking "No" for the "Do you want to install the driver now?" Prompt, but now the "New Driver" button under "Advanced" tab is greyed out, and there's nothing to choose from the printer driver list.

I googled and the only response that I've found so far are about insufficient rights, so I checked that I'm within the printer admin group but still not able to use the "New Driver" button. I even try to just list myself as the printer admin and still didn't work. I also have sufficient rights to access the print$ share.

Any inputs? Thanks
