Well,the PPD you sent begins with:

*PPD-Adobe: "4.3"
*%%%% PPD file for HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP m176n with CUPS.
*%%%% Created by the CUPS PPD Compiler CUPS v2.2.8.
*% (c) 2008 Copyright HP Development Company, LP

You see, it obviously is for the MFP M176n, which has – according to the HP specification – has no duplexer,
which is correctly described in the PPD.

The MFP M277dw, which you noted in your first post, is a PostScript printer with duplexer.

SO what printer are we really talking about?
