There really aren't many parameters to vary in dithering. You can have
different basic dot size, you can have multiple dot sizes or colors, and the
noise frequency response can vary a bit, so I'm surprised that you're
finding the printer's dithering so different from what PS does. Have you
tried reducing the printer's resolution? I forget what printer you said you
were using, but if it has a 720dpi setting, maybe you can make the dots look
more like what you want.

Whether a RIP would help, I don't know, but maybe someone else around here
does.
