Hi klipp
I do not think that cups is finding 2 printers:-
What it looks like it is finding is 2 *Connections* - Did you have it USB and (W)LAN connected?
The cups test page seems to be designed to confuse people: There is only 1 page so why cups often reports "Processing page 2..." I do not know.
Have you installed the current hplip software? If not I will take a guess that printing failed when using the 2025.ppd because hplip is required - but I could be wrong.
With regard to selecting the printer PPD file: Make sure you select the version with "Simplified" in the filename as these tend to work better with pscript.drv and, in my limited experience, with psprint.drv from Alex.
Are you using pscript.drv? - If "Yes" maybe you want to try adding the PPD file to psprint.drv instead - see http://www.altsan.org/os2/printing - and create your Desktop printer in the hope that will "cure" some problems printing from OS/2 apps. If you try this work through the instructions in the Readme carefully.
As for your remark "Looks like Pete is right (as usual)!" I will let you argue that with my wife who has a slightly different opinion ;-)
Regards
Pete

They look identical, but when you click on them the connection is different:
USB:/HP/HP%20Color%20LaserJet%20CP2025dn?serial=00CNGS467706
socket://192.168.1.140
