You print a target *with all color management options turned off in
the print path*  create a profile with some profiling software, or
have someone create it for you, and then convert your images to that
profile with your image processing application and print them via the
same print path as your target. There is no requirement for the print
chain to be profile-aware, in fact what you want to do is switch all
the color processing in the print path OFF.

CUPS/Gutenprint can do all the above very well indeed if you can
manage to navigate their rather arcane user interfaces. And if you
have difficulties, then come back here and indicating your user
interface problems is a very very good idea.
