Several points:

1. The checksum error usually happens when the source is not accessible (the server is down, file is missing etc), so that's not something package maintainer can influence.

2. .run script provided by HP is outside of scope for fixing by package maintainers - usually it is its distro maintainers who are answering here (brian_p from Debian does a great job here), not the hplip authors from HP.

3. Is the Fedora 37 fully updated, with the latest HP plugin? I had to remove several files due being under bad license, so several printers had to start using HP proprietary plugin to have at least some printer support via hplip, but the draft printing is probably side effect of this, and the latest hplip in F37 have this change as well. Unfortunately the proprietary plugin is again out of touch for package maintainers.

You can try leaving comment here https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/2028938 to get HP to focus on this, or, if the printer is capable, use driverless printing - how to find out https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/cups-useful-tricks/#_how_to_find_out_whether_my_printer_is_capable_of_driverless_printing - and don't use hplip for this printer.
