Digital BW, The Print

You currently have a few choices for getting good B&W output from the 
2200, depending on your platform (PC or Mac), and the Epson driver is 
not one of them.  Try one or more of the following:

QuadToneRIP (Mac OS X or Linux)
http://www.harrington.com/QuadToneRIP.html
IJC/OPM (Mac OS 9)
http://www.bowhaus.com/inkjetcontrol/
Septones (Mac or PC)
http://www.bwguys.com/septone.aspx
ImagePrint (Mac OS X or PC)
http://www.colorbytesoftware.com/

Also, check the archives for discussions and comparisons of each of 
these alternatives.
