Bug Description
If the plugin installation in GUI mode fails due to `error: Network connection not detected.`, `hplip-3.16.11.run` simply continues the installation, prints `Done.` and terminates the setup. The complete setup has to be repeated and if the connection fails after the start of the setup one can be occupied with trial-error installation for hours.

Hello again Karl-Philipp,
Thank you for submitting this other bug and reporting a problem with upgrading hplip in Dec 2016. Ubuntu and hplip have been updated since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 1647111
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and hplip better.
