[Openicc] Application based print color mangement

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello all,
So far as I know, Inkscape, Scribus, Cinepaint and may other 
applications are doing colormangement for printing inside the application.

It would be nice, if at least for the three mentioned applications, 
somebody could describe, how this is technically solved in the application:

- what kind of rendering engines are used inside the application ?
- Is colormanagement for the printer applied direct in the rendering 
engine or after rendering to a bitmap ?
- Does the application support the Common printing dialog ?

Backgroung of my question will be a proposal, how the current valid 
profile for a printer setting could be communicated through the Common 
Print Dialogue to an application, which is doing application based print 
color management.

At the current stage of e.g. Inkscape, the user has to configure 
manually the the printer profile for the printer setting he is choosing:
