multifunction device support? HP LaserJet 3100

[Kiyan Azarbar <kiyan@iname.com>]

My dad just bought one of those new-fangled multi-function devices, for
faxing, copying, scanning (in a limited sense I guess, not a flatbed color
scanner), and printing. 

It's an HP LaserJet 3100. I checked the manufacture date: Apr 8, 1998, so it's
pretty damn new. Of course everything will be fine and dandy in Windows, but I
never boot into Windows anymore, nor do I want to. We have a little 3-node LAN
set up here on coax with ancient SMC 8013 cards that works for us so far. My
dad used to have a Canon BJC-4000, and I used to print to it using the bjc-600
magicfilter filter (slightly tweaked to 600 dpi, I think).

I was wondering... does anyone know what filter this new device is best suited
for? Should I use the ghostscript laserjet driver, ljetplus, ljet3, 4, or
what?

As far as I can tell it ain't a postscript printer... so I'm hesitant to
select any of the ones I listed.

Thanks for your help.
