Is this a LaserJet 4100, or OfficeJet 4100?

If it's the LaserJet 4100, then simply set the destination to 
"win:printername", where "printername" is the name as known to Windows, and 
set the type to one of the many PCL-5 printer types.  If you have filePro 
version 5.6.02 or later, you can use F6 within the "destination" field in 
pmaint to select from a list of installed printers.

If it's the OfficeJet 4100, which is a "host-based" printer, then you need 
to go through a third-party print utility, such as the Atlantis program 
supplied with filePro.  Check the "FP2RTF" information.
