[Openicc] cupsICC on remote CUPS servers Part 2

[Jan-Peter Homann]

Hello list, hello edmund,
So far what I have learned about CUPS through this list, I think an 
process of updating the color entries of a sever side PPD about 
installed profiles and driver settings is way, how a communication 
between server and client could be realized.

Also prinrer profiles should include cupsICC specifiers and driver 
settings as metada.

the driver settings meta-data make scure, that profile and driver 
settings are always synchronized.
The cupsICC qualifiers (printer, media, resolution) will be integrated 
in the PPD wich will be used from the client.

CPD will parse the PPD and present the user the settings for media and 
resolution, which are installed on the server.

The user makes his selction through CPD and the cupsICC qualifiers are 
selecting the printer profile for pdftoraster. Rastertogutenprint reads 
the driver settings from the printer profile for printing with the right 
setting.

Best regards
Jan-Peter
