Per OpenPrinting HP-LaserJet 4100
The HP 4100N is postscript capable, ie the "filter" is built in to the printer itself. The website also has a valid download for a 4100 specific postcript driver. You should have basic functionality without the filter.

The postscript ppd may be of use in 2 settings:
1) Used with a foomatic-rip filter it would allow you to easily pass printing options like landscape vs portrait, resolution, paper size etc.
2) Embedded within the ppd are the capabilities and commands to implement those capabilities.

I linked the foomatic-rip filter in a prior post in this thread.
