I think the uniprint drivers need

	-dupOutputComponentOrder="{ 0 }"

and an array for

	-dupWhiteTransfer=...

for grayscale printing. Have a look at the uniprint directory,
there are some files for the 640 (my printer) which should give
you a hint.

It's probably better to create two printer queues, though.
