Actually, the cups-filters package *does* provide some support for printer profiles, but (IIRC) depends on colord to look up the correct ones (so cupsd talks to colord to register the cupsICCProfile entries ad cups-filters talks to colord to get the correct ICC profile for a given print job).
I'm not sure how extensive this support is at the moment, however...
