Let's say that a cancel button is added then were is still one more point: Let's that I want to add a network printer and I know its make and model and its IP address or DNS name. Now, if the user does not want to use the search function (because it does take 15 minutes for a large network) he should be given the option to enter this information manually. Even with a cancel butten, the user would have to type into the URI line something like "socket://myprinter.mycompany.com:9100". At least a hint for the correct format of this URI would be needed, or better, a dialog that asks for IP address or DNS name and a port (defaulting to 9100, or whatever the most common one is).
