Tested with system-config-printer 1.2.3+20100723-0ubuntu8.1 in maverick.

I think the icon should be changed to GTK_STOCK_FIND (http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/2.23/gtk-Stock-Items.html#GTK-STOCK-FIND:CAPS) and not GTK_STOCK_FIND_AND_REPLACE since no editing or replacing takes place.
I also agree that "Searching for driver" should end with an ellipsis: "Searching for drivers ..."

After clicking Add Printer a dialog appears where you can enter the device URI or select a network printer, a spinner is already used for discovering network printers. Perhaps a label "Discovering network printers ..." could be used there to clarify and replace this label with "Searching for drivers ..." with the spinner as soon as Forward is clicked. This would also avoid the double dialog "Searching driver for AppSocket/HP JetDirect LPD/LPR / Host or Printer" that appears stacked on the "Searching for drivers ..." dialog.

What do you think?
