Windows?
I'm 99% sure that the default (on Windows 7-64) anyway is the
.\drivers\color subdirectory. My speculation is that it can be extended, if
you know what you are doing.
IIRC, I noticed with Datacolor SpyderPrint that you could define a "Hot
Directory" that I think allowed there to be multiple directories. That might
be like the PATH environment variable, which defines a priority list to
resolve executables. ".\drivers\color" ... might ... be similar for
resolving .icc / .icm in a certain order. Or not?
I believe there is the capability of having the .icc resolved differently
for different users on the same Windows desktop, which I infer to mean that
it isn't just the system-wide .\drivers\color
Perhaps ... CAREFULLY! search your Registry (with RegEdit.exe) for the
string "drivers\color" and see what shows up. The environment variables are
actually in the Registry, and it might work similarly.
Or you might be able to use the Control-Panel for Color-Management +
Advanced to add to the list where it searches to resolve .icc references.
HTH for at least a hint or two for proceeding. Someone else may know for
sure, and we'll both learn!

Subject: ICC Profiles located on Server
I have multiple workstations that all need to print to multiple servers.
Currently we just manually distribute new profiles anytime we need to
update them, but this is cumbersome and error prone (if someone overlooks
installing the new profile, for example).
I am writing today to ask if anyone knows of a way to include ICC profiles
in the system that are located on a server rather than on the local disk. I
know there are many places profiles can be located, but I don't know of any
way to place them centrally on a server so that they are automatically
available on the local computers. This way I could update a printer profile
in one place and everyone would make use of it.
I doubt this is possible, but it's worth asking anyhow!
Thanks in advance.
