QTR-Quadtone RIP

Thanks for responding, Roger. That makes sense. What you described is exactly the workflow I'm using, other than choosing Gray Gamma 2.2 as the printer profile (the photo's color space is already set to that). Since I didn't see the "QTR - Gray Photo/Matte Paper" options in the printer profile dropdown, I was wondering if something was amiss.

I've confirmed that there are ICC profiles in /Library/Printers/QTR/icc, including Gray_Photo_Paper.icc and Gray_Matte_Paper.icc.
