I get the same option just trying to modify my current printer. It |
| 48 |
doesn't list anything, it just shows the printer I currently have set |
| 49 |
up. Even if I tell it I want to add another printer, it still shows my |
| 50 |
current printer. I can't find a way to get it to list them. Maybe it |
| 51 |
is a setting somewhere that I have that makes mine work different. |
