Let me get this straight, I get that re. Ubuntu this is Incomplete and
now expired, but this bug report is pretty complete in regards of hplip.

There is no reason to keep relying on QT4 in new versions when it is EOL
for a long time now. And here is the issue, the installer still requires
qt4 (for systray) even though it isn't in the latest version's
requirements (hplip-3.21.8) because it want's for the systray app which
I didn't ask for.

In Mint 20.2 (not the reporter's version, I know) it won't even manage
to install dependencies of qt5 when I do request for it just to try and
pass the hp-systray restart step (why?).

The whole QT4/5 dependency seems to be badly coupled, and should either
be fixed or decoupled.
