Thats why I suggested to look at CPD, the common printing dialog, where a 
OpenUsability specialist made already suggestion to cover ICC rendering 
options. At that level, the user has typical full control. Local and 
system wide ICC profiles are available.
The two things to be resolved is then, to mark the print file as not to 
colour managed further in the process if requested.
The second is to transport the selected ICC profile to the CUPS server.

To summarize my view on the current colord approach:
it tries to substitute, what I expected CUPS solves with own means. It 
copies a knowingly problematic solution from an other OS, and introduces
the many of these problems as well on Linux.
