Okay, but why can I print from OpenOffice 1.1, Mozilla 1.6, ...(Suse 
8.2)  etc.  with this "PostScript"-ppd to a non-PostScript printer 
without having installed any add-on? I even can print duplex! - with a 
"PostScript"-ppd   that produces code for a non-PostScript (but a PCL) 
printer!?! Can somebody here explain me that fact?

Yes, laserJet4l-pcl-driver ppd works fine fpr FS-1020D so far. This 
driver is used so far to print PostScript1.0-files. But I want to print 
in duplex mode.
