What I've done here with a Dell 5110CN is to create two CUPS print
queues with Dell's original PPD file modified to not allow the color or
grayscale choice : one of them only allows color mode, the other one
only allows grayscale (and is the default print queue)

Of course this won't work with non-CUPS clients, and doesn't prevent
nefarious (untrusted) users from printing in color mode, but this solved
the problem for me. As always, YMMV...
