Using the linux-next distro with an HP laser printer.
Printer works fine (always has) but I can no longer use the hp-toolbox.
cli gives...
_Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

import distro
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro'_
Googling suggests python-distro module missing.
Any thought on how to address this?
Thanks
