Facade is a design pattern in software :)<div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facade_pattern">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facade_pattern</a></div><div><br></div><div>Maybe that facade is exactly what is needed:</div>
<div><br></div><div> - if upstream CM is present in an app, it will be enabled also in the target printed in that app, yielding a good profiled print *from that app alone*</div><div><br></div><div> - I do understand that this is ugly, but sometimes a facade can ensure a consistent user experience. In this particular case, a profile would simply be registered as valid for this app rather than system wide, and everything would be ok.</div>
<div><br></div><div> -so here the facade would be the profile association server which would be smart enough to associate profiles on an app by app basis in some case.</div><div> </div><div>Edmund<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

One of those structures is a documented, public, API both for display and print. And at least for print, a reference app, would be another such structure.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The call for an "off switch" in the print dialog doesn't adequately address the problem. I think it's seen as a giant net, but disregards the giant holes. It's a knee jerk reaction to the experience we've been having on Mac OS, but it really isn't a solution. It's facade.</div>
