Install the "jpeg2ps" package and use it to convert jpegs to
postscript.  From the package description:

Description: Convert JPEG compressed images to PostScript Level 2
 jpeg2ps converts JPEG files to PostScript Level 2 or 3 EPS. In fact, jpeg2ps
 is not really a converter but a "wrapper": it reads the image parameters
 (width, height, number of color components) in a JPEG file, writes the
 according EPS header and then copies the compressed JPEG data to the output
 file. Decompression is done by the PostScript interpreter (only PostScript
 Level 2 and 3 interpreters support JPEG compression and decompression).
 If you have a slow communication channel and a fast printer, sending
 compressed image data is a big win.
