That really depends on how you plan to print them. The only unique data in a 
DuoTone is grayscale, so converting to grayscale will get you all the image 
data, if you plan to print to a system that takes grayscale in and prints 
neutral or tinted grayscale out. If you want to salvage the tonalities, that would 
be possible with some workflows. For instance, you could convert the DuoTone to 
RGB in Photoshop, resave, and that image could be printed through an advanced 
profile for color and B&W work via the RGB driver. PrintFIX PRO 2.0 would 
actually allow either of these methods, but most processes would need one, or the 
other, and might require other elements as well, since as recreating the 
tonality as a QTR curve set...
