Yes, the 4M+ has PS level 2. To print from this, with current versions of Scribus choose PS level 2 from advanced options, or print from Acro reader with the PS level 2 option selected. As always, we also suggest using a PPD from the manufactuer wherever possible to make sure you get all the cups options available.
