updated workaround avoidng call to platform.distro Edit (1.7 KiB, text/plain)

This happens to me too still with version 3.20.11 in ubuntu 20.04. The command hp-plugin crashes too. The patch does not help me, but reading the previous comment I removed completely the distro sections and then it works by using the fallback mecanism. I attach the patch. To use it:
hplip-3.20.11.run --noexec
cd hplip-3.20.11
patch -p1 < «path to patch»/evitar_usar_platform.patch
./hplip-install
If you already have hplip installed you can still use this patch. You only have to cd to /usr/share/hplip and then run the patch command above as root.
