Default Trouble preparing separations in illustrator cs2

Ok, here is my issue. I've searched high and low but I feel like I am still missing soemthing here...

All I want to do is separate my artwork and print it onto a transparancy but I have no idea what the settings should be in Illustrator to do this. I went to a few tutorials online and searched the forums but I still can't figure it out. Seems like some of my options in the print dialog box are grayed out. (in Output mode, I cant change it from composite)

I am using waterproof film and printing my transparency with an Epson R1400 with the stock ink.

Attched is an example of the image I want to output to a transperancy so I can expose it and burn the screens. It's a simple two color job. All I want to do is print it in Black ink onto the transparency...Why is this so hard??? Maybe I'm just dumb...

Help!

Uh ok. So i just bought this Epson printer so does that mean I cant print separations from my printer? If so, that blows!! What do I do now? Do I need ghostscript or something?

Just delete the blue background, turn the text that you want to print to black, and send to the printer. Any time you want to print a film, change the color of the object in question to 100% black and send it.
