You are absolutely right.

I checked two test systems that were clean-installs of 16.04 (rather 
than upgrades from 15.10 or 14.04), and found that the ability to add 
printers was grayed-out (not available) on those systems.  That ability 
was still there on a xubuntu partition on one of the same machines.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  A bug-report needs to be 
created for this (in my opinion).

I will specify that the bug affects me too, if I am made aware of the 
actual bug report.

I would probably file the bug report (in a terminal) using the following 
command:

ubuntu-bug ubiquity

I'm not sure if cups is the right package, or if the live system 
installer ubiquity is the best package to name.

I would just do the bug report myself, but I'm not on one of those 
machines (having the problem) now, and they're very slow machines.
