Hello Robert, hello list
As a user, i want to have the option to have control slug right on the
print out, which shows as text line what colormanagement actions has
happened to print data from the printing application, the OS / printer
spooler and the printer driver.
I guess by "control slug" you mean "data sheet" or something like
that.
This would be a fair bit of work, since Gutenprint (and the CUPS
driver layered on it) are purely raster; they don't know how to
generate text or anything like that (they receive pure raster data
from CUPS). This would probably require some hooks in the driver
itself (and very possibly in each family driver), since some of the
transformations it does are opaque to the higher layers.
It would make more sense to put it in the CUPS driver if it were to be
done, but it would add significantly to the amount of code.
Adding this to the log file would be considerably easier.
