Bug Description
When attempting to run the HPLIP installer (the hplip-3.19.8.run file), I get the following error message:
zorin distro is not found in AUTH_TYPES
I've used the latest version of HPLIP from here: https:/
Zorin OS is based on Ubuntu (Zorin OS 15 is based on Ubuntu 18.04) so internally, adding Zorin OS support to the HPLIP installer should be as simple as following the same steps as Ubuntu.
It's a pretty popular distribution (ranked 9th on Distrowatch) so I was surprised to see it wasn't supported in HPLIP.
I would kindly ask the development team to officially support Zorin OS in the HPLIP installer. It would make a lot of people's lives easier, especially when installing the drivers across an organization (like in my case).

Please fix this problem. It's super simple to fix.
To correct, I edited the source code "base/password.py" and added " 'zorin':'sudo', " to the "AUTH_TYPE" dictionary.
If installed, edit this file with sudo permission: hplip/base/ password. py
/usr/share/
Like this: hplip/base/ password. py
sudo nano /usr/share/
