Bug Description

Installer is unable to find the missing package: libnetsnmp-devel
Error message:

INSTALL MISSING REQUIRED DEPENDENCIES
-------------------------------------
note: Installation of dependencies requires an active internet connection.
warning: Missing REQUIRED dependency: libnetsnmp-devel (libnetsnmp-devel - SNMP networking library development files)
warning: This installer cannot install 'libnetsnmp-devel' for your distro/OS and/or version.
error: Installation cannot continue without this dependency. Please manually install this dependency and re-run this installer.

I am also unable to find a suitable package for RHEL 9. Is there a workaround for this?

Running hplip-3.22.10 on Fedora 37 Workstation. The automatic text installer provides the following error:

error: A required dependency 'python3-pyqt4 (PyQt 4- Qt interface for Python (for Qt version 4.x))' is still missing.

When atempting a sudo dnf install python3-pyqt4 the following message is displayed:

No match for argument: python3-pyqt4
  * Maybe you meant: python3-PyQt4
Error: Unable to find a match: python3-pyqt4

There seems to be a typo in the installation script. The "p" and the "Q" letters in the pyqt4 portion of the package name are in lower case. Being that names are case sensitive the script is requesting a package that does not exist.
The solution might be to correct the typo so that the installer is requesting the package name:

python3-PyQt4

When using DNF to request the correctly named package on my system it reports that it is already installed. Since the package is already installed correcting the typo in the script would prevent this issue
