Simply use PoScript2 and forget about the others.

The "F" variants offer a "fast parallel port" option, which is rarely 
useful and would not make any difference if you print to file anyway.

PoScript2 means PostScript level 2, which produces far better output 
than level 1, so unless you really need level 1 output (and you don't 
because your printer does level 3), there is no need to look at the 
level 1 "PoScript" definition file.
