CUPS does support ICC profiles but with the limitation that this is only
available if the CUPS *toraster filter you are using supports ICC profiles. 
Currently only the proprietary Apple *toraster filters that are part of OS/X do
this.  In other words at present this is only an issue if you are running KDE
on an OS/X machine.

But there is work underway by the OpenPrinting folks to implement ICC profile
support in the new pdftoraster CUPS filter and this should make CUPS actually
support ICC profiles if users are using the new PDF based printing working
flow.  It will likely be around 06/2009 before this is mature enough to be
tested by adventurous end users and it will likely be late 2009 before it is
mature enough to be shipped in "stable" systems.
