Thank you Michael for the straight answer. The technical level of this is
way out if my league, but I'm trying my best to understand it all. I'm also
extremely humbled to get an answer directly from you.

In very simplified terms; would it be possible to create a custom xcode app
that use Core Printing to hand of a color managed print job to cups without
any other bells 'n' whistles?

Right now we add our custom ICC-profile in the ColorSync app, in 'Devices'
.. 'Printer' - 'Color' - 'Current Profile', and the printer correctly uses
/ auto chooses the right profile when printing from the standard OSX apps,
(preview for example) and we get the correct output.

We're looking for a way to do this from the command line somehow.

Erik
