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. ** Changed in: hplip (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688684 Title: hp-check shows the distro index instead of its name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hplip/+bug/1688684/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
