PDF is straightforward to convert to PostScript and back; since PostScript
would contain plain text metadata that might make it easier to do this.
The psutils package has a psselect command that will break a PostScript
file into individual pages. Then you could somehow detect color on each
page and send it to the right place.

How does one from a program determine which pages of a pdf file contain
colored objects (python would be preferred). I am trying to print the black
and white pages to a laserjet and the colored pages to a inkjet since the
inkjet is much slower than the laserjet for two sided printing.
