While running the setup wizard, it auto discovers the print servers on the LAN.
They all have to be on to be seen.
Sometimes, the wizard does not discover one even if the server is on.
This is a problem as you cannot do the discovery manually by entering settings.
In my case, either the Windows Firewall or Kaspersky Antivirus was blocking the auto discovery.
I temporarily disabled both, and discovery worked ok.
Afterwards, I re-enabled them, and was still able to print a test page successfully.
Therefore, this appears to be only a setup issue.
