insert the respective statements somewhere near the beginning of the printer’s PPD, such as 

*cupsICCProfile Gray../Grayscale: "/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Generic Gray Gamma 2.2 Profile.icc"
*cupsICCProfile RGB../Color: "/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc"

In this example, you can see how to specify different ICC profiles for different color spaces the printer can handle.
For more information, look at the cups.org web site, select the help tag and look into “cups ppdextendions“ for this keyword.
