My printer requires using hplipWithPlugin and I followed the this guide. However, when I run:
nix run nixpkgs.hplipWithPlugin -c sudo hp-setup
I get:
QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to ‘/tmp/runtime-root’
Searching… (bus=usb, search=(None), desc=0)

The result is:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distro’
The Qt error appeared after I played with that for couple of hours. In the beginning it was failing when downloading the driver and then with the missing module.
system: “x86_64-linux”, multi-user?: yes, version: nix-env (Nix) 2.3.9, channels(root): “nixos-20.09.2238.b94726217f7”, channels(me): “”, nixpkgs: /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos
Any ideas?
