Final answer:

To add a shared network printer not shown in the list, the technician can manually add the printer by name or IP address and install the necessary printer drivers.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a technician wants to add a new shared network printer to a computer and it is not shown in the list of available printers, they can take two actions. First, they can manually add the printer by its name or IP address. To do this, they should access the 'Add Printer' wizard on their computer, select 'Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer', and then choose 'The printer that I want isn't listed'. Here they can enter the printer's name or IP address. Secondly, the technician can install any necessary printer drivers that might be missing, which might be preventing the printer from being listed. This can typically be done by visiting the printer manufacturer's website to download and install the latest drivers for the specific printer model.
