Yes, the MIB loader is saying it cannot resolve  'MODULE-IDENTITY'........

....and this IMPORTS statement says MODULE-IDENTITY is in  SNMPv2-SMI

So you need to load this first. It is in RFC2578, which should be in your
HP MIB distribution. 
Then load your HP MIB file and try browsing objects in it.

As James Shanks has responded, if an SNMP Get is timing out, it is usually
because the agent is not running or you are using the wrong community
string. Does this agent respond to Gets of standard objects like sysContact?
