The 'add printer' icon points to a wizard. Not sure where these reside.
In the meantime, bypass 'add printer' and install your printer from the
disk(s) thatcame with it ---> insert in A drive ---> run 'setup' or such
like.
You can also download 'cabview' which lets you see what's inside the win
95 cab files. Long process.
Suggest upgrade to win 98 which has many facilities for self-healing and
repair.
