Bug Description

Scenario: I've already setup my HP All-In-One to work over the network, and now I'm reinstalling Ubuntu. I shouldn't have to connect the USB cable again and go through that rigmarole. However, the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HpAllInOne page mentions nothing about Manual Discovery.

I would like to add (but again, I can't, because the page is "Immutable") that you can run `nmap -T5 -sP 192.168.xxx.0-255` and look for the "HP*" device, then plug that IP into the Manual Discovery box.
