You can't print a conventional halftone from an inkjet printer. At
least not any inkjet I've ever seen.

I've had the same problem for screen printing since they need real
coarse screens, like 45lpi. What I did was export the graphic as an
EPS or TIFF and open it in PhotoShop as a Grayscale image. I then
converted it to a Black and White, 1 bit TIFF, and chose Halftone
Screen from the choices, choosing 45lpi and round on the next prompt.

It's a pain in the ass but you gotta do what you gotta do.
