hp-setup problem

hi again,
Today i installed hplip and pyqt3 ,but when i run hp-setup i  get

Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols 
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed

then the setup starts and  after the question about the connection type i get "No devices found".

I checked the groups and power etc. on the printer.

So has anyone an idea what i did wrong?

Re: hp-setup problem

Did you run hp-setup as root?

Re: hp-setup problem

I must admit that I don't have a proper clue.  This problem does show up in a Google search but without real resolution other than a hint that it may be something to do with network setup.  Do you have matching hostnames in /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.conf?  Otherwise, there's always the cups web interface (http://localhost:631), which is what I used to successfully set up my HP Photosmart.

Re: hp-setup problem

no
in /etc/rc.conf

# NETWORKING
HOSTNAME="myhost"

and /etc/hosts is 127.0.0.1
i use dhcp . so should i change the /etc/rc.conf ?
-"cups web interface" i tried it yesterday and it worked.

interesting is that when i ran hp-check i get an error that cups doesn`t work and i have to restart it and the error disappears.

And thank you for taking time to answer my newbie questions

At least something worked!  FYI, I use dhcp as well and here are the relevant parts of my /etc/rc.conf

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
HOSTNAME="darkstar"

and /etc/hosts

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain   localhost       darkstar
