First of all, images usually need to be in 300dpi of resolution to get a good print quality. Be sure to check this in your JPG. You can learn more about this here:

Printers prefers TIFF format for images so I don't understand they ask you to save in Photoshop Curves because is not an image format. P. Curves is a Photoshop tool which let you manage color correction of the image.

I think you should contact with your printer again to get better information about ther requirements for print your image :)

I believe curves is a color adjustment tool within the program Photoshop and not an image format. If your printer, I'm assuming this is a person, refuses to print .jpg you can export the image to a .tif or .pdf format. You can use Photoshop itself but you probably don't have access to the program. A free alternative is to use Picasa or some other image editor.

On another note, it troubles me that your printer did not inform you about this.
