I don't know if that particular one speaks plc, but if you want to
be able to scan too (and have X installed on the box for the gui) then
look at /usr/ports/print/hplip3 - looks like it supports your all-in-one,
including printing (using cups), scanning (using sane) and status info:

PS: I think all I had to do when testing an earlier update of that port
was setting up ugen* permissions for my user in /etc/devfs.rules (there's
some info in /usr/ports/print/hplip3/files/pkg-message.in - things are
a little different with the new usb stack in 8 and -current tho) and
then running hp-setup as root (so it can access the cups config),
selecting the right ppd file for the printer.  (seems to be
hp-photosmart_c4100_series-hpijs.ppd.gz for yours.)

PPS: your mailer sends broken Message-ID headers. :)
