Software :: HPLIP - No Installed HP Devices Found

I have OPENsuse 11.4 64 bit. I installed 3.11.7 and performed hp-check -t and no problems were reported; yet I cannot seem to configure my HP printer. I work through hp-setup, following the instructions; it recognizes my network, recognizes the printer, says that it's managed to configure it, asks me to remove the usb connection and offers me the 'finish' button. When I click on the finish button it automatically pops up the the message 'no installed hp devices found' - the point where I started!

I am a member of groups sys and lp - hp-setup automatically configured this. Attached is the output from hp-check -t...

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
