I'm unfamiliar with Panther's utilization of Gimp-Print, and whether or
not this is still an issue in that environment with Ghostscript out of
the picture. I'm still in Jaquar, a nifty new GUI and goofier color
management isn't real high on my list of needs.
The Gimp-Print people said it wasn't them, the Ghostscript people said
it wasn't them, that left the Apple pdf RIP which of course no one
addressed. Kind of like trying to ask the Pacific Ocean a question, if
Apple was included in the conversation by Gimp-Print or Ghostscript
people, interested users were never informed. Clearly, with Apple
shipping Gimp-Print drivers in their new OS, there have been more
important conversations going on between the parties.
Roy Harrington, with his programming knowledge, was able to grab direct
control of the inks for quadtone work, and concluded it was a
Ghostscript issue. No comment from any of the three major players.
There is no obvious user access to any control of Ghostscript functions,
nor Apple's pdf RIP. There is (or was), however, an easily found user
setting in Gimp-Print called RawCMYK. It has never worked.
So who would one interact with to move this along?
Obviously, this setting would make some of us jump for joy, previously
imprisoned by quickdraw RGB only. It would probably make a number of RIP
developers somewhat unhappy as well. Perhaps this setting has been
excluded from the Panther drivers.
GenericRGB seems to be showing up in a number of places as a suprise guest.

and will it pass unmuxed CMYK without converting it to GenericRGB yet?
I thought we determined last time around that this is a Ghostscript
issue, and was outside of the control of Gimp-Print.
I'll take that answer to be: "no it can't but its not our fault..."
which is still "no it can't."
