hplip utility (that small printer icon) stopped to work!

1. Clicking on the icon I don't see any printer.
2. When trying the configuration I can see all cups printers but cannot create, modify or delete any of them.

A message box is displayed indicating a cups-authorization-canceled error.

Here is my /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file:
(please ignore the comments. Most are the default ones).

Code:

# Log general information in error_log - change "warn" to "debug"
# for troubleshooting...
LogLevel warn

# Administrator user group...
SystemGroup lpadmin


# Only listen for connections from the local machine.
# Listen localhost:631
# Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
Port 631

# Show shared printers on the local network.
# We switch this off by default in Gentoo, to avoid an unnecessary open port.

Is hp-check revealing? Run as a normal user, not root.

hp-check only shows 2 optional missing applications. Nothing wrong, I think.
For lpstat -a, a client (using kubuntu) correctly shows the server (using gentoo) printers. But another client (using gentoo) and the server itself shows only blank lines!
