Hi Sanjay
you said:
=====================
the modified PPD (hp-officejet_pro_8610.ppd.gz) here. Please create a new print queue using this PPD. Here are the recomended steps.
1) Run hp-setup command
2) Select USB or Nw and press Next.
3) Provided the location of the PPD which is attached in this bug report next to PPD File: entry.
4) Finish Queue setup
5) Open the document to be printed in Libre office
6) Go to file printer settings and set Page Size = A4.Duplex , Duplex=Long or Short Edge and Device/Duplexer = Installed
7) Go to file print and make sure that above options are set. If not then set them again.
8) Try printing now.
=====================

I am delighted to say that your fix allows double side printing from my libre Office, thank you!

Some notes here:
1) above: Using a terminal, I was only able to choose ppd file after using sudo hp-setup, may be obvious but not to me :-) - gui facility appeared ok, I might have needed to choose the Advanced settings button also not sure.

My Ubuntu
Printer Properties
now describes the printer as
HP_Officejet_Pro_8610 (also FAX is installed it seems)

I think I restarted the PC before the final test, may be relevant (?)

I also looked again at http://localhost:631/printers/HP_Officejet_Pro_8610 (using firefox) and set defaults as
+++++
Description: HP Officejet Pro 8610, hpcups 3.14.7
Location:
Driver: HP Officejet Pro 8610, hpcups 3.14.7 (color, 2-sided printing)
Connection: hp:/net/HP_Officejet_Pro_8610?ip=192.168.1.124
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=unknown sides=two-sided-long-edge
+++++
as you can see, two-sided-long-edge shows duplexer installed and acepted here ok.

For actions 6) and 7) - you may have expected this not sure:
Although I chose PaperSize as 'A4 AutoDuplex', and in this particular document case, Orientation: Landscape, Duplex: Short edge(flip)
then when I closed the window and then looked again, the paper size was not still 'A4Autoduplex', but indicated 'A4' - meaning that the indication had not persisted with A4 AutoDuplex:
HOWEVER, Duplex:Short edge(flip) WAS still persisting showing ok :-)
and the document printer DUPLEX CORRECTLY :-)

I noted here that the localhost:631 as above defaults, had been correctly over-ridden by the individual case of specific document settings ok: long edge > short edge flip etc.

So, conclusion can be that your modified ppd file as comment #12 works for this.
Again Thank You Sanjay.
