[Openicc] Linux CM ideology... Print preview

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello all,
Here is the workflow for print preview:

Create a workflow, where the rasterized printout from CUPS is duplicated 
and converted from printer-profile whit a user choosen rendering intent 
to displayRGB.

As the printer profile is only defined through choosing the 
media-setting in the printing UI, a print preview is best implemented as 
function of the print UI (and not of an application creating complex PDF 
files)

If there should be a print preview in the application, the workflow 
should be as following:

1) Implement the possibility of softproof workflows in the application:
documentICC->softproofICC->DisplayRGB

2)Deilver a solution, where the installed PrinterICC profiles for the 
current CUPS queues are communicated via Oyranos or g-c-m to 
applications (e.g. both CUPS queue name an printer profile name could be 
communicated via Oyranos /g-c-m to the application.

3) Choose (CUPS-queue name / printer profile) for softproof


Best regards
Jan-Peter
