Smith,

This sounds OK to me, as JPEG printing is primarily for photos - most B&W-only printers are not photo printers (and those that are will likely support JPEG...)

>From a client-perspective, all CUPS-based implementations will handle this just fine and convert a local JPEG to PWG Raster as needed.

That makes it impossible for us to certify these products as IPP Everywhere, since in IPP Everywhere JPEG support is mandatory (5100.14 section 6 page 45).
