Yep.
Actually, wedging something like this into a CUPS queue isn't all that
difficult - thanks to CUPS being flexible enough to use shell scrips as
backends. I've already created a "divert" backend that generates a
flat TIFF from the input postscript code, runs it through photoprint to
apply ICC profiles and output it in raw mode to the printer's normal
queue. Adding an option to compute an optimal profile would be fairly
simple.
As you say though, the user would have to not mind waiting - this
diversion technique is already pretty slow!
