I have the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus and it always printer duplex
correctly for me. So can you please try the following: Manually change
the printer model/driver of your print queue to the HP OfficeJet Pro
8500A Plus.
To do so, open system-config-printer ("Printers" icon in System
Settings), right-click the icon representing your HP OJ Pro 8600, choose
"Properties" in the pop-up menu, then click on the "Change" button of
"Make and Model" (on the "Settings" screen). Choose manufacturer "HP"
and model "HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus". Then choose the "hpcups" driver
(is probably already pre-selected). Click "Forward" or "OK" to close the
dialog.
Now try to print. Does duplex work correctly with all applications now?
Other possibility worth trying is to choose the "hpijs" driver, for both
model selections "HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A Plus" and "HP OfficeJet Pro
8600". Please tell whether this helps.

Title:
HP Officejet Pro 8600: Duplex printing doesn't work
Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:

Status in Evince document viewer:

Status in HP Linux Imaging and Printing:

Status in “hplip” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
I wanted to print a document in duplex mode. Different applications
showed a different behaviour but none of them worked as they should:
LibreOffice just didn't print in Duplex-mode. But I've chosen this
mode.
Evince, using the PDF produced with LO, printed the first "package", but the
second not (in fact the printer produced an empty page, then printed one page,
one empty page and printed the last one), the third "package" was printed in
duplex mode, but not the fourth and so on ....
The same did the HP-toolbox.
