latex2e doesn't know anything about .gif. All it understands is .eps. LyX
is using it's automatic conversion mechanism to generate a .eps file from
your .gif one. Run
$ lyx -dbg graphics
from the command line to see exactly what it's doing.
It may be that you should recreate your bitmap .gif file as a vector
graphic .eps anyway. (For better scaling of your image to paper.)
Alternatively, you might define your own custom GIF -> EPS converter.
Eg, `man ImageMagick' shows an EPS3 format which really just wraps your gif
inside a PostScript wrapper. It may be that your printer understands and
can handle this format ?
