Dan has a truly amazing book about making black and white negatives for
contact printing. I'm not sure that is what d.martini is after.

Sounds like your files need adjustments prior to printing. Finding your
black and white points with levels or making a wee contrast curve will help
the flatness. Channel Mixing will give you a better BW or Duotone than
desaturation or straight gray scale conversion. I always print from RGB to
Epson's as they'll convert your file on the fly. If you print from CMYK the
printer driver converts again to CMYK giving you color casts on BW or
Duotone images.
