Digital BW, The Print

Yes it is that simple!  Tom Moore's tutorial is about profiling and 
linearizing to your printer.  It creates profiles customized to your 
printer, ink, paper combination, but is absolutely optional.  You 
probably want to start out not using them.  As long as you are 
satified with your results, keeep doing what you are doing.  
Additionsl to the "tutorial" Daniel wrote would be to use the setting 
on the GUI.  Paper settings, etc.  The most satisfying is the curve 
settings.  Select 2 curves and blend them as you please.  You can get 
warm, cool or neutral prints by blending the curves.   It give 
remarkable control over the image tone.  Printing step wedges at 
various settings can give you a library of choices on a single page.
Keep playing and have fun.
