Additional thought:

HP have submitted their "For Macintosh only"-tagged PPDs to Linuxprinting.org since some time already. 

They seem to work just fine for CUPS/Linux too, but nevertheless I mildly complained, because they may lead to user confusion. They also contain some Apple-specific statements and paths [which normally should be ignored by any PPD-processing application if they don't understand them]. Now I wonder if this could contribute to this bug?

Andreas, can you check if this is the case (that all failing PPDs in KDEPrint are "For Macintosh only" ones)?
