James,

   I'm not sure why there's a problem. If you print your document on a laser
printer, for example, the images are rendered in grey scale, not color
(unless you have a color LaserJet, of course). Now, if all you have is an
inkjet printer, that's a horse of a different garage.

   Make two versions of your color images. The original, in color, for viewing
on computer monitors, and one in grey scale for printing. Use The GIMP to do
the conversion ... or Imagemagick's convert.
