[Openicc] Gutenprint team requests CM-off for a print queue be provided as a maintained engineering facility.

Chris,

 The distinction is that we are not advocating that a feature be made
available to future users, we are requesting it for ourselves ASAP so
that there will actually be a system to give to future users.
