Author Printing file with larger dot screen - help

Hi there,
A customer gave me an logo in an AI file. It is 2 color (black and red)has a
several graduated tints in black that are on top of the red and under some
100% black. I am trying to convert the dots to BIG dots but can not figure
out how. I have been working on it for hours and I am greatly and muchly
frustrated. I am going to screen print this on tshirts and can not screen
print a very fine dot. That is why I need the graduated tint to be a big dot
and the solid parts to remain solid.

I placed the vector AI image into Paintshop Pro 9 (at 300 dpi) and applied a
halftone effect which made the whole thing to be halftoned - I only want the
part that is already a graduated tint to print out with bigger dots.

It would be good if I could adjust the lpi of my printer (HP 5MP - a
postscript printer) from within PSP but I can't figure out how. I can't
adjust it in the printer preferences. Suggestions?

Thanks very much.
