Bug Description
When adding a printer a list of discovered printers is shown. If there are duplicate entries, for example if the same network printer is discovered with different network protocols (LPD, IPP, ...), these entries are usually grouped into one by using the D-Bus service of system-
<model name>
<model name>-2
This way the user does not know which is the network printer and which is the USB printer. The results dhould look like
<model name> (USB)
<model name> (Network)
To reproduce connect a printer with both network and USB (or Bluetooth) input by both network and USB, then try to set it up with the preferred connection type.

This is a regression compared to Quantal. There system- config- printer was used which did it correctly.
