Roman,

I don't know for sure about ImagePrint but the Gray Lab is just another 
grayspace like gray gamma 2.2 or dotgain 25% etc.  As long as you are
print in a color managed environment you ought to be able to use any
of the grayspaces.   With QuadToneRIP is you print using Gray Matte/Photo
the color management will be converting from whatever grayspace you
are editing in to the print space,  I imaging IP will be doing the same thing.
