[Samba] "New Driver" button greyed out on Windows Client Despite
having sufficient rights

I'm trying to add/connect to printers through samba, and tried to go
through the "Add Printer Wizard" by clicking "No" for the "Do you want
to install the driver now?" Prompt, but now the "New Driver" button
under "Advanced" tab is greyed out, and there's nothing to choose from
the printer driver list.
I googled and the only response that I've found so far are about
insufficient rights, so I checked that I'm within the printer admin
group but still not able to use the "New Driver" button. I even try to
just list myself as the printer admin and still didn't work. I also
have sufficient rights to access the print$ share.
Any inputs? Thanks
