Yes but both should be independently dealt with using the embedded profile
in each file to the same output paper profile. Now you can't print using
Gray Pigment driver settings AND color at the same time so the Grayscale
image will not print "as well" as if you just had that in the page. Yellow
ink will be used for example for both images. That being the case, at least
with an RGB file that had large areas of R=G=B and tagged, the output looked
far better than anything I've seen out of an Epson driver with custom
profiles.

Correct. That would be to use the right Gray profile and Gray pigment
settings. I personally would try and split the two types if possible but
that's not always possible.
