Since all of my printers are logically RGB devices (the drivers expect RGB input) I am not sure how useful this is to me but for others it might have it's uses. But perhaps we need to understand what this will be used for before including it. Also printer profiles are very specific to the printer hardware (not just the printer model but the specific printer you are using), the paper, ink and all of the driver setting (resolution, dither....). So I have more than one printer profile for each printer (typically 5 or 6). When you are in the printer dialog in GIMP you have the ability to add a new logical printer and use that to "name a collection of settings you wish to remember for future use." This is the ideal place for printer profiles to be specified. So the user should be able to set the default profile and rendering intents for each logical printer along with all of the other settings for the driver. This would be a way better setup than how this is handled in photoshop and would be a great way to simplify and facilitate the management this part of a CM work flow. > - default profile path (/usr/share/color/icc/ and ~/.color/icc/) All of the other stuff looks fine to me. -- Hal V.
