The hpaio driver is not part of the SANE software but a so called
"external backend", which comes directly from HP, see
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/

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 4100mfp
so that you may have to connect it only directly via USB.

For details you may ask on the HPLIP mailing list:
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/mailing_lists.html
