If nearby printers are present, clicking ADD PRINTER triggers either 'Add printer manually'(1) or 'Add nearby printers'(2) depending on which one was cancelled before that. (1) is always first when first time click. (1) is always the behavior if no nearby printers are present.
To reproduce:
1) On chrome://settings/cupsPrinters click 'ADD PRINTER'
2) On 'Add a printer manually' box, click CANCEL
3) Click 'ADD PRINTER' again
4) Observe - 'Add anearby printer' box is present
5) Cancel and click 'ADD PRINTER' again
6) Observe - 'Add a printer manually' box is present
This behavior is ONLY when nearby printers are present.
