Someone asked a similar question recently. The gimp-print project was
initially set up to support these printers (including the stylus photo
700), and they seem to support 1440 and 720 dpi. You should be able to
use it from gimp. I've never used it, but the page says

   At this point, I prefer the output of my driver in many ways to the  
   output of the Windows driver. I consider the color fidelity and tonal 
   characteristics to be better, at the expense of increased graininess 
   with my driver (part of what the Windows driver appears to do is avoid
   printing altogether in areas where grain is likely to show up).      

They have a Ghostscript driver too.
