[cups] One cause of my confusion

In http://ab1jx.1apps.com/misc/3purples.jpg is a photo I just took of
3 printings of a picture of the same flower.  Full sunlight about
noon.

The top one was printed from Windows and looks the way it looks on my monitor.

The middle one was printed through CUPS using my .icm file that I made
with my ColorMunki.  Same .icm file as the top one, I copied it off
the Windows machine.

The bottom one was also printed through CUPS but I commented out the
line in my PPD file that causes the .icm file to be loaded.

The middle one seems to have some purple, more than the bottom one,
but nowhere near as much as the top.  This may mean something like not
all .icm files are handled correctly.  CUPS doesn't handle the file
the same as Windows but seems to be doing something with it.  It was
seeing some purple in the middle one that made me report that it was
working then I took it into the other room where the Windows version
was hanging and realized it wasn't right.  But the bottom 2 were
printed through CUPS, with and without my .icm file, it seems to have
done something.  I would expect CUPS to treat it the same way as
Windows.
