Some more testing:

1. Clicking existing printers and trying to open their options dialogs 
results in

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pk-helper/+bug/1697288
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-pk-helper/+bug/1697291

2. If clicking the "Add.." button a list of printers to add appears. But 
the list is useless. For every CUPS queue which is already installed an 
entry with "-2" added to the queue name and an SMB URI appears. The 
really relevant entries, my USB printer and my network printer (which 
appear in "lpinfo -v") are not in the list.

Output of "lpinfo -v":
