Public bug reported:
The HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color m551dn printer is claimed to be
fully supported using HPLIP 3.11.10 (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-
web/models/color_laserjet/hp_laserjet_500_color_m551.html), so it should
be supported under the 3.12.2 version shipped with Ubuntu 12.04.
Installing the printer using KDE's print setup interface to CUPS
defaults to using the HP DesignJet 500 Foomatic/cdnj500 driver, which
works, but doesn't allow duplex printing, at least when trying from
okular.
Installing the printer using hplip-gui (hp-setup) spits out a warning
message about
warning: No PPD found for model laserjet_500_color_m551 using new
algorithm. Trying old algorithm...
And the PPD field is defaulted to
foomatic-db-compressed-ppds:0/ppd/foomatic-ppd/HP-LaserJet_5100-pxlmono.ppd
Which *does* allow duplex printing from okular, but fails to print in
colour.
