This path is unconditionally put into generated PPD files by genppd.c: /* Macintosh color management */ gzputs(fp, "*cupsICCProfile Gray../Grayscale: \"/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc\"\n"); gzputs(fp, "*cupsICCProfile RGB../Color: \"/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc\"\n"); gzputs(fp, "*cupsICCProfile CMYK../Color: \"/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Generic CMYK Profile.icc\"\n"); gzputs(fp, "*APSupportsCustomColorMatching: true\n"); gzputs(fp, "*APDefaultCustomColorMatchingProfile: sRGB\n"); gzputs(fp, "*APCustomColorMatchingProfile: sRGB\n"); gutenprint is currently orphaned. I no longer have a printer to test it with, so I can no longer maintain it adequately. In the absence of a new maintainer, I'm continuing to made uploads of new upstream releases, but without the level of QA I would consider necessary for a properly maintained package (I used to test all the major components printed correctly under a variety of conditions for all new upstream releases and for all but the most trivial packaging changes). But other than that, which I'm doing purely as a service to existing users, I am not capable to properly maintaining the package. I've been looking for a new maintainer for at least two years now. You can find the latest upstream release here: http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gutenprint_5.2.7-1_amd64.changes http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gutenprint_5.2.7-1.dsc I would be interested to know if this fixes the issue, though it does still contain the offending lines there might be other related changes which cause it not to error out. Note that this might equally be a bug in the cups server itself for not ignoring the directive in the absence of a valid ICC profile or using a fallback. This would need taking to cups and gutenprint upstream. I don't have the time to do that myself, but both teams are responsive to issues such as this. The code in question was tweaked in 5.2.7 (not yet uploaded) but was otherwise unchanged since 5.2.1, which has been around in unstable since early 2009, so if this is recent breakage I would suspect it's a changed behaviour in CUPS itself.
