We already know that Quickdraw and GDI (it's Windows counterpart) only
support RGB data; and thus, any printer driver that interfases with the OS
and all applications (as opposed to Postscript rips or application-embedded
drivers) is limited to accepting only RGB data, and making the CMYK -or
CcMmYK or such- conversion on its own.
And what about Quartz in OSX? It's based on PDF, and the Preview app at
least supports CMYK. Is the printer driver architecture on OSX able to pass
CMYK data from the application to the driver? Or are we still limited to
RGB? Will we see CMYK-accepting drivers anytime soon?
