I'll again toss in a plug for Roy Harrington's $50 QuadTone RIP (in 
which I have no pecuniary interest other than having licensed my copy) 
which does a very nice job of b&w printing with Ultrachrome inks in the 
2200. Details are at http://www.harrington.com  The Mac version, in my 
experience, installed very easily, but many questions arose on a 
digital printing list about the installation of the recently-released 
version for Windows XP. But then again problems with a Microsoft 
platform.
