[Openicc] printer, driver, IPP, ICC- profiles

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello Mike and all,
May be, my proposal was not clear written. I will try it one more time:

We have the use case, that people, companies or projects offering 
printer profiles for download, which need an associated mediasetting to 
work reliable. The main idea of the proposed ICC dictType Metadata would 
be to use exactly the printer-icc-attribute as specified in JPS3 and put 
it as metadata into the printer profile.
If the printer profile would be installed on the IPP server (what is the 
correct wording ?) we just need a mechanism to read the dictType 
Metadata from the new printer profile to update the mediasettings with 
printer ICC profiles on the IPP server.

Mike if, you still think, that way does not make sense, what would be 
your preferred workflow for:
- offering printer profiles with printer-icc-profiles attributes in one 
package for download ?
- What would be the steps for an autmatic installation of the printer 
profile and its attributes on an IPP server ?

Thanks for your support and best regards
Jan-Peter
