[Openicc] Google Summer of Code 2009: Oyranos CUPS backend

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Hello,

The CUPS backend for Oyranos has some first functionality implemented. But 
it is fragile in the current stage. We hope to can install it with the 
other Oyranos modules at some time. That greatly depends on, when someone 
will find time to work on this backend.

Currently the backend is able to read one "cupsICCProfile" entry and try 
to get that as a local or a remote profile. As far as the PPD 
preconfigured "cupsICCProfile" approach goes that might be a good start.

What I do not know is, how to distinct the colour related PPD options 
from the non relevant to make selection dependent on say "gamma" but not 
on "paper size". Would you know a way how to select ppd_attr_t attributes 
according to their influence on colour?


kind regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
