[SOLVED] hp-toolbox nor hp-setup showing up

I have a hp-printer at home and at work, so I installed all hplip-packages to use hp-toolbox and hp-setup and so on. But when I run hp-toolbox or hp-setup as root, no window is showing up.

[root@molniya kenneth]# hp-setup

And after that, nothing is happening. No window, nothing. After a while, I'm tired of waiting and I break with Ctrl+C. Following information shows up:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-setup", line 342, in <module>
    w = setupform.SetupForm(bus, param, jd_port, username)
  File "/usr/share/hplip/ui/setupform.py", line 158, in __init__
    self.hpssd_sock = service.startup()
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/service.py", line 51, in startup
    time.sleep(0.5)
KeyboardInterrupt

Wben running hp-toolbox the first is almost the same with no window showing up. After using Ctrl+C the following error is showing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/hp-toolbox", line 182, in <module>
    hpssd_sock = service.startup()
  File "/usr/share/hplip/base/service.py", line 51, in startup
    time.sleep(0.5)
KeyboardInterrupt

Does anyone know how to use those tools anyway?

Regards

Both pyqt3 and pyqt4 are installed.

Seems like "localhost" must exists. Adding 127.0.0.1 localhost to /etc/hosts worked for me .
