Yes, it does. I just finally got around to setting up a couple of Snow
Leopard machines for my 12/640 because of this.

After entering the IP address (I had set a static IP when I got the
printer), I did end up having to go an manually select what model of
printer it was. This allowed me to select some of the available options,
such as letting the system know the printer had 64MB. This led to much
faster printing...

And then from CUPS, I configured the printer so Photograde and Fineprint
were both turned on by default. I hate having to remember to select
those every time I want to print.
