The printer in question here is an RGB printer that uses R, G, and B

In which case this is an RGB printer based on its marking engine and
not based on the limitation that it is only able to receive data
through the OS pipeline.
And even with the CcMmYK printers that insist on being driven as RGB
devices, I would strenuously disagree >that they're more trouble
than they're worth
An application that has a CMYK imaging model (which again means it is
able to use the PostScript printing pipeline and bypass the OS
pipeline), and that has a CMYK object to print through the OS
pipeline, must convert that object to RGB, whether that conversion is
color managed or not color managed.
If you look back on the List over the past three years at the welter
of questions clustering around this, and around the implementations
in drivers and applications that try to handle it, and we still
disagree that this is a limitation for desktop publishing, then let's
agree to disagree -:).
