For HP port 9100 printing, there is the alternate form of 
9100@printername.  Which, now that I look at that line, has two 
problems:

   :/lp:=9100@HPLJ4100:\

The slash before "lp" here is a mistake.

The colon after "lp" is the second problem.  Colons are field 
separators, so the printer device is never set.

This line should be:

   :lp=9100@HPLJ4100:\

It is not needed for /etc/printcap.  At least I've never used it for 
that. :)
