I get the same option just trying to modify my current printer. It doesn't list anything, it just shows the printer I currently have set up. Even if I tell it I want to add another printer, it still shows my current printer. I can't find a way to get it to list them. Maybe it is a setting somewhere that I have that makes mine work different. Dale :-) :-)
