A printer asking for a file in JPG should be shot at dawn.

This printer must be a raving rank amateur with zero knowledge who has just
started in the business.

My recommendation is find a printer that knows what they are doing and will
take a PDF, EPS or PS file.

Interesting, just decided to experiment to see if Publisher 2003 could
create a CMYK JPG, but I am having trouble determining such. Normally I
stay as far away as possible from CMYK images. My two programs of paint
software which handle and save as CMYK identify it as RGB. Will post back
when I have determined for sure if it is RGB or CMYK.

Very unusual. If you have Acrobat (not just the Reader), as the printer if
they accept .pdf files. It is possible to save a .pdf as a CMYK.

No. CMYK is created from print output only. It is possible to use the print
output path and have the PS driver create a EPS of the output in CMYK color
space.

some trade printers specializing in business cards and other small things at
extremely low prices frequently specify that all files be submitted as
bitmaps, either jpg or tiff. The reason for this is that they gang dozens
and dozens of such files onto a single press sheet and for what they are
charging don't want to deal with the unripables that sometimes accompany
pdf/eps and other formats.

So the requirement isn't as off-the-wall as it might seem; although for a
local printershop there is no real justification for it.

Publisher can emit only rgb as a composite file. It can be converted to cmyk
using a bitmap editor like Photoshop.

Fonts are going to look nasty in such a file. Nothing you can do about it.
