Hi Paul,
Photo smart 2600 PPD has been updated for Duplex options only and default paper size is not updated in hplip-3.12.11.
Please find the below diff between hplip-3.12.6 and 3.12.11 versions.
Reason for removing Duplex constraints is, currently HPLIP package is not querying dynamically duplex unit information.
If user has duplex unit and Duplex constraints are present, user can see the option after updating the duplex unit information through CUPS. Many user may not be knowing this information so PPD updated to show duplex option information always.
