If I thought there was some ambiguity over a "Printer Profile" found in a "Color" tab, then I would not be so reluctant to include "ICC". But it's not only superfluous, it's an acronym. This adds obscurity. I don't see it as being helpful but if the consensus is "ICC  Printer Profile" or "Printer ICC Profile" or whatever, I don't intend to complain about it.

And there are the CUPS profiles. Good to know that these are completely 
different from ICC profiles.
