If you read the cited document properly, you will notice that – currently – the only
system on which ICC profiles are supported is MacOS with ColorSync and only
with the Apple proprietary filters.
As far as I know, the filters of the open printing cups-filters package do not support
ICC profile files.
If your printer is configured to use PostScript (it supports a PS interpreter (level 3)
by default) it would be possible to write a special filter that supports the cupsICCProfile
PPS keywords using the spice utility from the littlecms-2 package.
