[colord] Using printer profiles created with Argyllcms in colord

[Robyn Minkler]

Hello Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to address this! Your patch appears to fix
the problem -- I can now print targets with gcm-calibrate. I haven't yet
gone through the rest of the calibration process, but I will this
evening. Apologies if I was a bit vague about the trouble adding
profiles from gnome-control-center. I'll provide the requested verbose
output and a screencast (probably easier than trying to explain the
issue) tonight when I have some free time.

-Robyn
