Attached the output files requested. There are several printers on the
work network, so I've edited out the lines directly related the the M551.

As far as I can tell looking through the CUPS driver selection dialog
using the web interface http://localhost:631, and use the KDE printer
configuration dialog, there is no printer driver called "HP Laserjet 500
color M551"

The HP LaserJet series goes from 2 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 1000 ... 9000 ->
cmXXX -> cpXXX -> Foomatic -> m100X ... -> p100X -> Profession XXX ->
"HP Color LaserJet Series PCL 6 CUPS," which is the one I'm currently
using (switched to it from the generic PCL 6 driver), and seems to work.
