Final answer:

The question pertains to the process of adding a network printer manually to a computer when the desired printer doesn't automatically appear in the list of available printers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The instructions you've mentioned, "The printer I want isn't listed - Browse for a printer - Select a shared printer by name," relate to adding a network printer to a computer. Once you are trying to add a printer that is not automatically detected by your operating system, these steps allow you to manually locate and connect to a printer that's shared over a network.

First, you would choose the option indicating that the printer you want isn't listed. Then, you'll have to browse for the printer which should bring up a dialog allowing you to search your network for the printer. Finally, if you know the exact name or address of the printer, you can select it by entering its name. This process can vary slightly depending on your operating system, but these are the general steps for connecting to a shared printer on a network.
