Have you tried modifying the PPD file to remove the color option?  I mean, I 
would copy the original PPD file to a file named "whatever-NOCOLOR.ppd".  Then I 
would create the second printer and assign this PPD file to it.

I've never done it before but I think it should work as all the printer 
options the user is presented come from the PPD file.  Let us know if that 
works.

Jorge
