Mark, I'm sorry I have no knowledge of that printer model but you obviously have a driver for it so I would reccommend you look at qimage from www.ddisoftware.com Iuse this software with my DJ130NR and find it invaluable and pretty cheap.
There is a forum hewe on yahoo groups for the program and regular updates. Mike Chaney the programs author writes regular technical articles for steve-digicams and seems to know his stuff regarding interpolation and color management. No connection apart from being a regular user.
