Bug Description
Printer configuration is completely unusable in a network environment. Click on 'New Printer' and it will hang for over 10 minutes while it scans the network, it will then return a completely useless list containing hundreds of printers (yes, its a large network). Lets say you wanted to wait 10 minutes to generate this list (which i dont), there should be a way of searching the list for the printer you require. Clicking on 'New printer' should not set it off scanning the network, the user should be given a choice of options, one of these should be 'scan for printers on the local network', fine for a small network, useless for anything else.
