[Openicc] Question to colord and CUPS

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello list, hello Richard

In your own blog
http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2011/01/05/colord/
you write, that your work together with Tim Waugh 
<http://cyberelk.net/tim/> for connecting colord to CUPS to provide 
colormanaged printing with colord and CUPS.

Doing a search on www.cups.org with "icc profile" I?m getting results, 
which make me doubt, that CUPS has a robust infrastructure to deal with 
ICC profiles in the printing chain.

See e.g. http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1594
This is a since 5 years open ticket with priority 1 to allow ICC based 
color transformations to be applied in CUPS image filters..

It would be nice, if could explain in detail how colord and CUPS should 
work together and where e.g. the user specifies the rendering intent for 
the color transformation from the source to the the printer profile.

Thanks and best regards
Jan-Peter
