Your understanding of needing PPD if you use AdobePS is correct.
But...

You don't need to install the Adobe PS driver. Windows already has a
PostScript driver for your printer. Just use the Add Printer icon, but
select the "HP Laserjet 4/4M Plus 600" printer, which is PostScript -
not the "HP Laserjet 4 Plus" or "HP Laserjet 4M Plus" which is not
PostScript.  

As to why "why the printer from my list of printers is not also ok ?"

That depends. For what purpose isn't it ok?
