The PPD for the Officejet Pro K550 is not included in the Mac OS X 
distribution of the hpijs drivers.  However-- 
a. HP indicates that the printer uses PCL 3 enhanced. 
b. linuxprinting.org indicates that it works with the hpijs drivers
c. the PPD from linuxprinting.org calls on the "ijs" device which should 
be built in to your copy of Ghostscript.

As you have already added the PPD to /usr/share/cups/model, you should 
be set with a PPD that will work with the Mac OS X hpijs distribution.  
It looks like everything should come together and work without any 
problems.

If you have already installed Ghostscript, you should not have to 
install it again.
