Public bug reported: 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.
[Unit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_testing) and [integration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integration_testing) test provide a very helpful way to detect trivial and obvious issues/errors like this one before releasing software to end users. It's quite unlikely to create average quality software without them and the use case of this issue/error should be covered by both.
