Can I add an ICC printer profile in 2.10?

[johna1954]

Hi,
I am currently running Linux Mint 19.1 as my O/S.
I am aware that you can add an ICC printer profile in GIMP for Softproofing but is there a way to send that profile to the printer directly from GIMP?
I would like to add a profile for my Graphics art quality OKI Laser printer Pro 9431. I have tried adding profiles in 'colord' but makes no difference that I can see. I have checked that the Gnome Color Manager is correctly installed. Would I use the 'Assign profile' or 'Convert to Color Profile'?

TIA
John

Not bang-up-to-date, but this says convert works. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-manag...nt/37072/7 It also says using Darktable for printing works. Lots of Darktable users on https://discuss.pixls.us/ Worth asking the question there.

Hi rich2005, thank you for your quick response and help.
The Darktable route does seem to work but a bit convoluted and also found that it re-scales my image.

I had tried the 'Convert to Color Profile' previously but the image changed and then changed back almost immediately. If I clicked on 'Undo' then the same happened.

If that is a what-you-see judgement, all you can do is check the profile before convert, then after convert and maybe save with a new name. Open that, has it retained the new profile? It does here using Image -> Image Properties https://i.imgur.com/zQRGRJn.jpg

I wonder if it is the OKI icc profile? Made for Mac possibly?

Feel a bit of a dunce, never thought to look at the image properties. Will try a couple of prints tomorrow, on screen there is no difference though.

The OKI profile I had made using Argyll.

Thanks again
