I am using the HPLIP installed from repository, since the one from HPLIP download usually does not install, due to dependencies issues.
When I open the HPLIP Toolbox I get crash with main cause at /usr/share/hplip/toolbox.py.
If I run this Phython I get:
HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (ver. 3.22.10)
HP Device Manager ver. 15.0

NameError: name 'get_distro_std_name' is not defined. Did you mean: 'get_distro_name'?
The solution I implemented was to edit file /usr/share/hplip/base/password.py and replace get_distro_std_name() by the get_distro_name(), used on previous Ubuntu, 22.10.
Line 119:
From
distro_name = get_distro_std_name(os_name)
To
distro_name = get_distro_name().lower().replace(" ","")
Line 323
From
distro_name = get_distro_std_name(os_name)
To
distro_name = get_distro_name().lower()
How can this be reported to team in charge of HPLIP code in Ubuntu?
Regards
