I went to System Settings>Printers and while the correct printer had been identified, it was identified as a local printer. In trying to add another (click +), there was no option to add a network printer. The search panel was not any obvious use: what 'address' is needed? I tried the nas server name, to which the printer is attached, but nothing came up. (see attached screen-grab: the printer was attached and on...) In the end I had to use the system-config-printer applet and successfully added the network printer, which showed up in the control centre applet afterwards but the location is '--'. The system- config-printer applet was simple and straightforward to use, mainly because it identified the network printer immediately. If this is not technically a bug it presents a serious gap between what the control centre application might reasonably be expected to do and what it is able to do in a straight forward way.
