Clicking that button will bring up the "Add Printer" dialog, You may notice that this window will have a "searching for new drivers" message in the bottom left corner (indicated by arrow in picture).

That will bring up the non-standard printer addition window seen below. Drag the pulldown indicated by the arrow to match the one seen in the image below. You may again see a "searching for new drivers" message in this window, the option shown below may not appear unless the system has stopped scanning for new drivers. You may also need to give this message some time to complete.
