Just do the math.  At 2880x1440 DPI (the maximum for the 2200), the 
printer can produce 4147200 dots/in^2.   If you are rendering an 
image at 300 PPI each pixel in the original image gets only enough 
real estate on the paper for 46 printer dots.   Since each dot of 
black ink can only be black or ~black, that's not NEARLY enough to 
represent a full tonal range!
