Hello Robyn,

Probably not, since CUPS bugtracker and mailing list have been down as  
I found this bug. Anyway I'm working on it slowly on my own, so I'll  
make a fix sooner or later. This is mostly an architectural problem in  
both cups and cups-filter. The color profile should be chosen by cups  
at the moment of job creation and not by cups-filter at the time of  
actual printing. This will require some minor refactoring.

Regards,
Alex
