More information (with installation from repository):
after patching the python error in core_install.py (commenting if statement
running hp-check gives the following error messages (I omit the non-error
output here):
error: cups CUPS - Common Unix Printing System
REQUIRED
1.1 - MISSING 'CUPS may not be installed or not
running'
error: python3-pyqt4-dbus PyQt 4 DBus - DBus Support for PyQt4
OPTIONAL 4.0 - MISSING 'python3-pyqt4-dbus
needs to be
installed'
error: python3-pyqt4 PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x)
REQUIRED
4.0 - MISSING 'python3-pyqt4 needs to be installed'
Missing Required Dependencies
-----------------------------
error: 'libcups2' package is missing/incompatible
my comments:
cups and cups-browsed are running!
libcups2 is already the newest version (2.4.1op1-1ubuntu4.1).
E: Unable to locate package python3-pyqt4-dbus

Title:
hplib not working after install, python error
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
after upgrade from 20.04 to 22.04.1 (not a new installation): new
installation of hplip
>sudo apt install hplip hplip-gui
Install completes without error.
Using hplip, e.g.
>hp-setup
manual detection of wireless printer using IP works, printer is
listed, but on 'next' -> process hangs (wait/termination suggested,
wait does not help)
alternative: (hplip installs a suite of programs)
>hp-check (verifies installation and contact to printer, scanner
produces normal output ending prematurely with error message:

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling
the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or
.run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully
compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an
already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to
successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode
will check both of the above cases (both
compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]

I tried alternate ways to install hplip:
hplip-3.22.6.run downloaded from hp
this fails with an unmet dependency 'libcups2', but sudo apt install libcups2
tells me it is
installed (-dev version, too)
