There are many methods how to convert RGB files to greyscale - from 
simple Change mode in Photoshop, through Channel mixer method, 
Hue&Saturation method, ... , to several actions and plugins. You may 
find all infos in archive of conference.

There is no any reason to stay in RGB to print greyscale images.

More - what is not possible with RGB - you may very easy "calibrate" 
your Photoshop to show grayscale images exactly as they are printed 
using modification of "Custom dot gain" curve in Color preferences.

So way to use RGB files for final greyscale prints in IP?
