hp uses hlogin.  If you have the device in a group's router.db, you can
use plogin and it will exect the appropriate script.  Also see the FAQ
section 3 for a more detailed login test.  Lack of permissions might be
causing the failure.

but, hp mostly (entirely?) OEMs their NOS.  see comments in rancid.types.base
for hp models known to work with types hp or foundry.  type smc is another
option to try.
