The 'M' also normally has a network card; they were originally marketed
for use with the Macintosh, which (a) required PostScript and (b) had no
parallel port.

Yes. 92298A or 92298X (latter is high capacity).

You need a module for the 4+. The module for the 4 will *not* work. The
HP part number is C3129A. If the printer doesn't have much memory,
consider some more (but the PS option does take one of the four slots).
