May I ask the obvious question? 

If "printing that original color jpg logo from explorer or an email message
to a b/w network printer produced very good results" worked, what happened
when you scanned that image and used it? Were the results still bad?

I had a similar requirement of printing a color logo to an afp print file,
then convert the afp splf to pdf using gumbo's spool-a-matic software. We
wound up punting and replacing the logo with some text in different fonts
because the color to b/w results were consistently lousy.
 
I couldnt even get the color gif or jpg logo to satisfactorily convert to
b/w tiff. ( and I asked an image toolkit company, leadtools, to try, and
they got the same poor results that I did )
 
Printing the logo to a afp driver and retaining the color was ok, but that
make the file very large and when the resulting pdf file was printed, the
poor color to b/w results were back.
 
But for some reason, printing that original color jpg logo from explorer or
an email message to a b/w network printer produced very good results.
