I'm still having problems; can't print to Photosmart 2610. Now this printer originally worked after first installing Linux Fedora 6 with hplip-1.7.2 in early March.
A few days later after restarting after a power failure I couldn't print again. Have tried to reload system to no avail. I just installed hplip-1.7.4a to see if that would fix but still got error: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed error: Unable to connect to hpiod. error: Unable to connect to HPLIP I/O. Please (re)start HPLIP and try again.
