Comment 21 for bug 987212

Providing the IP address works for me, too.

But this is only a workaround. What about those who want to add a printer without researching the IP addess (for instance on a large scale network.)

Furthermore, if someone configures the printers of a network to search for an address via DHCP this will as well lead to some problems, as the IP address might change over the course of time. (And I do not want to change my printer settings every now and then.)
