Digital BW, The Print

Last time I checked Gutenprint had very good control over the inks. You
should be able to print black-only and choose between a variety of dithering
types. QuadToneRIP is based on some Gutenprint code. There used to be a
Linux compatible version of QTR, you might want to try that as well. I'm
sure you can get that version if you ask Roy.
