[argyllcms] OT: CM-aware spooling [was: Re: Argyll CMS in Fedora (and Mandriva)]

Hi,

I wonder if there's any tool to implement
ICC aware transforms on spooled print jobs for
CUPS / Foomatic / Gutenprint.  It seems like one can
embed a ICC tag into files that are to be printed but
AFAIK there's nothing that actually does (as a print filter /
option) anything with that such as converting from source ICC
to printer colorspace.
It's possible to lash up PhotoPrint and a shell script into a very rudimentary solution for this. The result isn't properly CM-aware, and can't take profiles from submitted print jobs - what it *can* do, however, is convert spooled print-jobs from non-CM-Aware apps like OpenOffice from a preset source colour space to a printer profile. 

Mail me off-list if you're interested to know more.

All the best,
