In addition to the ICCPROFILE and ICCPROFILENN X11 atom convention mentioned above, ArgyllCMS dispwin will also set a CRTC ICCPROFILE property on systems that support XRANDR 1.2 or later, and this is the preferred way of applications obtaining a particular displays profile for multi-display X11 setups.

Embedding color profiles. The ICC color profile of the output color space, if available, can be embedded into the response image by specifying iccEmbed=. Managing ICC profiles. All color profiles used by the server must conform to the ICC specification. ICC profile files typically have an.icc or.icm file suffix and are co-located with image.

This specification describes the attributes and extensions that CUPS adds to Adobe TechNote #5003: PostScript Printer Description File Format Specification Version 4.3. PostScript Printer Description ('PPD') files describe the capabilities of each printer and are used by CUPS to support printer-specific features and intelligent filtering.

PPD File Syntax

The PPD format is text-based and uses lines of up to 255 characters terminated by a carriage return, linefeed, or combination of carriage return and line feed. The following ABNF definition [RFC5234] defines the general format of lines in a PPD file:

Auto-Configuration

CUPS supports several methods of auto-configuration via PPD keywords.

macOS 10.5APAutoSetupTool

*APAutoSetupTool: '/LibraryPrinters/vendor/filename'

This macOS keyword defines a program that sets the default option choices. It is run when a printer is added from the Add Printer window or the Nearby Printers list in the Print dialog.

The program is provided with two arguments: the printer's device URI and the PPD file to be used for the printer. The program must write an updated PPD file to stdout.

Examples:

macOS 10.2/CUPS 1.4?MainKeyword

*?MainKeyword: '
PostScript query code that writes a message using the = operator..
'
*End

The ?MainKeyword keyword defines PostScript code that determines the currently selected/enabled option keyword (choice) for the main keyword (option). It is typically used when communicating with USB, serial, Appletalk, and AppSocket (port 9100) printers.

The PostScript code typically sends its response back using the = operator.

Example:

macOS 10.4/CUPS 1.5OIDMainKeyword

*?OIDMainKeyword: '.n.n.n..'
*OIDMainKeywordOptionKeyword1: 'value'
..
*OIDMainKeywordOptionKeywordN: 'value'

The OIDMainKeyword keyword is used to define SNMP OIDs that map to installable options. The first (query) line defines the OID to lookup on the network device. The second and subsequent keywords define a mapping from OID value to option keyword. Since SNMP is an IP-based network protocol, this method is typically only used to configure AppSocket, IPP, and LPD network printers.

Examples:

Color Profiles

CUPS supports three types of color profiles. The first type is based on sRGB and is used by the standard CUPS raster filters and GPL Ghostscript. The second type is based on ICC profiles and is used by the Quartz-based filters on macOS. The final type is based on well-known colorspaces such as sRGB and Adobe RGB.

Note:

At this time, none of the CUPS raster filters support ICC profiles. This will be addressed as time and resources permit.

DeprecatedcupsColorProfile

*cupsColorProfile Resolution/MediaType: 'density gamma m00 m01 m02 m10 m11 m12 m20 m21 m22'

This string keyword specifies an sRGB-based color profile consisting of gamma and density controls and a 3x3 CMY color transform matrix. This keyword is not supported on macOS.

The Resolution and MediaType values may be '-' to act as a wildcard. Otherwise they must match one of the Resolution or MediaType option keywords defined in the PPD file.

The density and gamma values define gamma anddensity adjustment function such that:

The m00 through m22 values define a 3x3 transformation matrix for the CMY color values. The density function is applied after the CMY transformation:

Examples:

macOS 10.3/CUPS 1.2cupsICCProfile

*cupsICCProfile ColorModel.MediaType.Resolution/Description: 'filename'

This keyword specifies an ICC color profile that is used to convert the document colors to the device colorspace. The ColorModel, MediaType, and Resolution option keywords specify a selector for color profiles. If omitted, the color profile will match any option keyword for the corresponding main keyword.

The Description specifies human-readable text that is associated with the color profile. The filename portion specifies the ICC color profile to use; if the filename is not absolute, it is loaded relative to the /usr/share/cups/profiles directory.

Examples:

Customizing the Profile Selection Keywords

The ColorModel, MediaType, and Resolution main keywords can be reassigned to different main keywords, allowing drivers to do color profile selection based on different parameters. The cupsICCQualifier1, cupsICCQualifier2, and cupsICCQualifier3 keywords define the mapping from selector to main keyword:

The default mapping is as follows:

macOS 10.4Custom Color Matching Support

Hay budden anvil serial numbers. *APSupportsCustomColorMatching: true
*APCustomColorMatchingName name/text: '
*APCustomColorMatchingProfile: profile
*APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile: profile

These keywords tell the macOS raster filters that the printer driver provides its own custom color matching and that generic color profiles should be used when generating 1-, 3-, and 4-component raster data as requested by the driver. The APCustomColorMatchingProfile and APDefaultColorMatchingProfile keywords specify alternate color profiles (sRGB or AdobeRGB) to use for 3-color (RGB) raster data.

Note:

Prior to macOS 10.6, the default RGB color space was Apple's 'GenericRGB'. The new default in macOS 10.6 and later is 'sRGB'. For more information, see 'macOS v10.6: About gamma 2.2' on Apple's support site.

macOS 10.5APCustomColorMatchingName

*APCustomColorMatchingName name/text: '

This keyword defines an alternate name for the color matching provided by a driver in the Color Matching print panel. The default is to use the name 'Vendor Matching' or its localized equivalent.

Examples:

macOS 10.5APCustomColorMatchingProfile

*APCustomColorMatchingProfile: name

This keyword defines a supported RGB color profile that can be used when doing custom color matching. Currently only sRGB, AdobeRGB, and GenericRGB are supported. If not specified, RGB data will use the GenericRGB colorspace.

Note:

If you provide multiple APCustomColorMatchingProfile keywords, you are responsible for providing the necessary us
