[Openicc] [Gimp-print-devel] [noreply at sourceforge.net: [ gimp-print-Bugs-3299815 ] CUPS PPD broken on Linux]

[Michael Sweet]

All these lines do for Mac OS X is ensure that we consistently use the same default colorspaces (sRGB or generic CMYK) since the defaults changed in 10.6 and the assumption on Linux was to use sRGB anyways. We can make these conditional for Mac OS X (__APPLE__) and add Gutenprint-specific profiles later as needed.

With a recent version of CUPS, which makes use of ICC profiles, printing breaksdue to the profiles being invalid.  This has been broken since 5.2.1, but not noticed because up until now CUPS was not making use of the information on Linux systems.  This block of code should be made conditional so that this information is only put into the PPD on Mac builds, or is only used on Mac versions of CUPS if you can make it conditional inside the PPD.
