Hi All/Severin I would suggest you keep the mode of the image you want as greyscale, kept to RGB or CMYK (depending on printer). ie do not use that photo as greyscale mode. If it was originally a colour photo, turn it into a black & white by playing around with adjustments such as gradient map (make sure the foreground colour is put at black before using this), saturation & selective colour. If it was originally black & white then as you say, you still need to print it in RGB or CMYK, to suit the rest of the file. You can't get away from that. But if you can get it looking right (using above adjustment suggestions), as an RGB or CMYK file, then it should print the same.
