Dear Kai-Uwe,
As Max and Chris have pointed out, printer companies may need to point to
a large number of ICC profiles
for a print system. It is most critical to overcome the misunderstanding
that a printer HAS A profile. No.
A print *condition* (the printer, the printer settings, the colorants
selected, the paper in use) HAS A particular
behavior that can be color managed using one profile. Even in this
constrained case multiple profiles may
be useful since each profile contains only one preference mapping
(perceptual intent).
Whatever means is developed to address your question should not limit the
number of profiles that can be
packaged for a print system.
Best regards,
Ann McCarthy

We have practical no support for cupsICCProfile on Linux. It supports too
few use cases. Linux is much networked. A PPD embedded ICC profile would
be prefered.
