I just printed that on photo paper at max quality (it took 5 minutes) with 4 inks.  It looks perfect (well as good as the image on the screen).  Either it's jpeg compressed too much, or I can see artefacts from your CCD.  If you look for example in the top left corner, you can clearly see where the shades of grey change.  If you zoom in, it looks like JPEG artefacts (blockyness).

Cindy once remarked to her dentist that she didn't know what would be worse - having a baby, or having a tooth pulled.
The Dentist replied, "Well make up your mind, Cindy - because I need to know which way to position the chair."
