This is a general CUPS option (like "number-up"). It does not have to be
in the PPDs. It is automatically available for all printers.

To make it default (does not make much sense for this option) use

lpadmin -p <printer> -o color-management-default=off

and to remove the setting do

lpadmin -p <printer> -R color-management-default

The option setting is saved in /etc/cups/printers.conf then.
