See http://hplip.sourceforge.net/troubleshooting/network.html But http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/mono_laser_mfp.html indicates that there is "No" network support for the LaserJet 4101mfp so that you may have to connect it only directly via USB. By the way: For plain printing (i.e. youn don't need scanning or device service or device status via the hp-toolbox): All you need for plain printing is the HPIJS driver from the HPLIP software together with the matching PPD file for CUPS to produce the right printer specific data for your particular model or whatever generic PCL5e driver e.g. the "ljet4" Ghostscript driver via /usr/share/cups/model/Generic/PCL_5e_Printer-ljet4.ppd.gz You neither need the HPLIP daemons running (used for direct device communication which seems to be not supported via network for your particular model) nor do you need GUI programs like "hp-toolbox". Have a look at http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/hpijs.html and http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell and see our online "Reference" manual (package opensuse-manual_en) /usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/index.html chapter "Printer Operation", section "Network Printers", and section "Troubleshooting", sub-section "Network Printer Connections".
