Subject: Darn you, stochastic dithering! I shall be avenged!

Does anyone know how to turn off dithering with gimp-print 4.2.5
and the pcl-900.ppd on an HP Deskjet 940C?

I've got an image that I want to make photocopies of, so I
pre-halftoned it, but whenever I try to print it, the output
obviously has been stochastically dithered. This dithering is
very low-contrast, and will make it difficult to reproduce on
low-quality copiers. I have the following options in the PPD
file, and they appear identical to the options that I get when I
try to print in GIMP 2.0:

Adaptive Hybrid
Ordered
Fast
Very Fast
Hybrid Floyd-Steinberg
EvenTone

There is no option for ``no dithering.''
