Digital BW, The Print

Nope, there is no such menu option in the software; I'm instead using
QTR under wine, on Linux.

I looked very hard for a BO option in the Windows print driver menus for
the 1400, to no avail. I even tried doing an ersatz BO by setting the
print dialog to print on plain paper, grayscale, which net "wisdom"
claimed to force the print driver to do BO. It looked like it might have
been; I saw fine grain as if it was doing BO, but I can't say for sure
that it was doing it or not.

At any rate, it really isn't the way to go; QTR is much easier, if you
have the curves (which Paul has done a great job of supplying).

I could use QTR inside of my Windows virtual machine running under
VMware Workstation (that's where I run Photoshop), but it's easier and
quicker to run QTR with wine, because it isn't as resource intensive as
running a full Windows virtual machine. And QTR works quite well like
this, with very few whines (sorry) from the emulation software.
