First, I am on Cosmic and ran "hp-check" and see that the bug still
persists (Ubuntu is "12").
Second, you do not need to forward this patch upstream any more. HPLIP
uspstream uses Launchpad as bug tracker as Ubuntu also does. Therefore
it is enough to add an "HPLIP" task to the bug (via "Also affects
project", already done for this bug) so that it gets also visible to the
HPLIP developers at HP. I usually do this with all bugs reported on
HPLIP in Ubuntu, as longs as the bug is not clearly one in the
Debian/Ubuntu packaging.
Third, I will look into applying the patch to the current Ubuntu package
of HPLIP.

Title:
hp-check shows the distro index instead of its name
Status in HPLIP:
New
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
self.core.distro is the Linux distribution's index, not its name. This
results in messages such as:
warning: 2-9.0 version is not supported. Using 2-8.6 versions
dependencies to verify and install...
2 means debian!
As such it is not suitable for traces and information messages.
self.core.distro_name should be used instead.
See the attached patch. This patch can also be found on:
