yes. It has 2 cartridges: one black and another which has 3 bays.
When I print latex documents containing color images the black is black
and the colors come out just fine.

I only skimmed through the docs, but it looks like the author of uniprint
put a lot of thought into it and has plans for further improvements.
You can customize it without having to recompile.

I use magicfilter and /usr/sbin/stylus_color_360dpi-filter has the following line in it:

0       %!              filter  /usr/bin/gs  @stc600pl.upp -q -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=- - -c quit

The @stc600pl.upp specifies the stc600pl.upp config file for the uniprint driver.

To give you an idea of what it does, here it is:
