Bug Description

The add printer dialog doesn't provide an option to skip the search for drivers. This wastes time when you know the printer isn't supported by Ubuntu.

The only option is "Cancel" (in 2 separate dialog boxes) which (in both cases) takes you back to the "select port" screen. So, in order to get to the "select PPD" screen you have to wait for the driver search to complete.
