The printer-driver-postscript-hp package is not empty, it contains a
file with all PostScript PPDs for HP printers inside, compressed. The
file is

/usr/lib/cups/driver/postscript-hp

You see all its content via

lpinfo -m | grep postscript-hp

and especially it contains the PPDs for all variants of LaserJet 4
PostScript ptinters:

postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_4_plus-ps.ppd HP LaserJet 4 Plus v2013.111 Postscript (recommended)
postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_4-ps.ppd HP LaserJet 4/4M PostScript 600DPI
postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_4ml-ps.ppd HP LaserJet 4ML v2013.003 Postscript (recommended)
postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_4mp-ps.ppd HP LaserJet 4MP v2013.103 Postscript (recommended)
postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_4si-ps.ppd HP LaserJet 4Si/4Si MX 600 dpi v2011.110 Postscript (recommended)
postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_4v-ps.ppd HP LaserJet 4V/4MV PostScript

printer setup tools, like system-config-printer, find all these
automatically (they find every PPD which is listed by "lpinfo -m".

Title:
  No support for HP LaserJet 4P after upgrade to lucid

Status in HPLIP:
  Confirmed
Status in hplip package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: hplip

  Before upgrading to lucid I used the hplip driver für my HP LaserJet 4P without a problem.
  Since lucid the printing is very slow and often produces garbage output.
  When adding a new printer there is no choice für hplip (or hpijs).
  There is no ppd in /usr/share/ppd for my driver and hplip-gui
  says there is no supported device when starting device setup.
  Other drivers like gutenprint cannot even print pdf output.
  I can't see any working solution for the HP LaserJet 4P for now :-(
