In this case obviously no one knows exactly what's going on, so since the image was RGB in origin then it should likely be presented to the printers as such. They should be able to make an appropriate CMYK conversion and colours that fall out of gamut can be assessed in the proof. The gamut of direct to print or laser printers is all over the place, it varies with paper and ink/toner/screen resolution. Executing a CMYK conversion without knowing the characteristics of the print process is worse than making none from my experience.
