Digital BW, The Print

Here is a quick and effective technique, though not a plugin.  After you
have sharpened the image, apply the PS dust and scratches filter with an
extreme setting, such as 4 pixels and a threshhold of 8 or so.  Save it as a
snapshot, then delete it.  Using the history brush from the snapshot, set to
darken or lighten as appropriate, and a smaller soft brush, you can very
quickly get rid of dust and other boogers.  Beats the clone tool.  Hope this
helps.
