Dear anonymous user, are you the same who posted on the CUPS mailing list? On Mar 14 20:03 Doctor Who wrote (shortened):
I'm trying to get this printer working on my SUSE Linux 10.0 box. I have installed the hplip package and through the CUPS web admin interface i have configured the printer to use "HP OfficeJet Foomatic/hpijs" for the model/driver since there is no driver specifically for this model. The test page prints, but in black only - no color is present.
Regardless who you are, here my answer from the CUPS mailing list:

HP Officejet Pro K550 SUSE Linux 10.0 not seeing the model/driver listed. Is there a comparable model/driver I'm supposed to use.
The HPIJS driver (included in HPLIP) supports it. This driver uses so called device classes or "print classes" where each class is for one set of compatible models. First see the HPIJS/HPLIP documentation of the hplip package which is installed on your particular system: file:///usr/share/doc/packages/hplip/hplip_readme.html "4 Product Support" Here the "Officejet Pro K550" is not listed. But it is listed for the newest HPLIP version at HP: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/hplip_readme.html This shows that the "Officejet_Pro_K550" belongs to the "DJGenericVIP" print class. Printing should work even with your installed HPLIP version when you select any model which also belongs to this class and which is listed in your file:///usr/share/doc/packages/hplip/hplip_readme.html For details about the "DJGenericVIP" print class see file:///usr/share/doc/packages/hplip/hpijs-2.1.4/hpijs_readme.html ------------------------------------------------------------------- ...
