I did a clean install of the new Kubuntu 22.4 and ran into a couple
of problems.
The first big problem I encountered was trying to install my HP
printer using hplip-3.22.2.run. I ran this in the Konsole but the
install terminated because the program could not find internet access
in the Konsole. I tested this and was able to ping in the Konsole so I
did have internet access, but the program could not find it. So, no
printer was installed.
The second problem I encountered was using the eBook program, Calibre.
The program was unable to open an epub because the machine was missing
a QT file.
The third major problem for me was using WPS Office. The program, a
.deb file downloaded from the WPS Office site, installed with no
errors. Icons were properly placed in the launcher. But the program
would never load. Even launching System Monitor showed the program was
not running.

Check if internet access works for IPv4 and IPv6 and check if name
resolution via DNS is working.

What file?
Use apt-file <filename> to find the package that provides that file. If
you use the package from the official package sources you should file
a bug because the dependencies in apt should enforce that such
library packages are being installed when installing a package.

The run it in a terminal and check the error messages.
I was running Kubutnu 21.10 and the computer worked fine. I did a
clean install of the new Kubuntu 22.4 and ran into a couple of
problems.

Those three were big problems for me so I downgradede to an earlier
version and everything worked properly once again.
This O/S needs updates and work before I can use it.
YMMV
Another issue... the snap of firefox includes every f***ing language
known to mankind, while I had only en-US in 20.04. Is there a way to
go back to the deb version of FF?

FF isn't included as a DEB package in Ubuntu's repository for
22.04 anymore.
You need a 3rd party repository.
There is one available: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
There is also Ubuntuzilla: https://sourceforge.net/p/ubuntuzilla/wiki/Main_Page/

Fully agree. Snap as an additional feature would be good, but Canonical
like to go to snap-only. Many people already complain about that.
