Did you refresh the local policy after disabling the AD search page? You
should be able to just browse to the remote server and add the connection
using this method.
==============================
Are printers published into your Active Directory? If not you can disable
the AD search feature
gpedit.msc
Computer Configuration / Admin Templates / Printers / Add Printer wizard -
Network scan page (Managed network)
Disable or configure for you purpose
in a cmd window
gpupdate /force
this refreshes the policies
Now run Add Printer
