Bug Description

Using 21.04-latest on my main desktop, I am using a Xerox Versalink C405 via IPv4 and it always worked pretty good.

Boring pre-ambule:
I have been running this system for at least 90+ days and yesterday I had the black cartridge being switched for a new one and ever since it doesn't work. (But it still works from a windoze machine).

Situation:
After being unable to print from Linux my first reaction was to reinstall the printer. I have therefore went under MATE menu -> printers -> add -> Network Printer -> Find Network printer ->

Question #1: is it me or in previous UM versions after clicking on "finder network printer" after a couple of seconds it automatically found and configured it? Actually, when installing 21.04 it had automatically found and configured my Xerox printer......

Question #2: Since nothing is auto-discovered after 2+ minutes of waiting in the New printer wizard (Find network printer), I have manually forced the printer's IP into the Host text field and then pressed on FIND.

And this is the reason why I am opening this ticket. See the bottom picture because I do not think this is normal....

PS: The finality is that I am UNABLE to readd this printer. (But again it was automatically installed+configured at OS installation)
