I'm wondering what browser is being used, whether it's not displaying
the page properly?  At this stage you're not even looking at what sort
of printer will be configured, but how a printer will be connected
(direct, through a network, what sort of network, etc).  You'll get the
same items in that list, regardless of what printer you have, or even if
there is no printer.
