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
