Hi,

printer drivers (MacOS or Linux does not matter) do not use
icc-profiles, applications do.

The data needs to be "corrected" before sending to the printer. So you
need to load your icc-profile into Vuescan, Gimp or Photoprint.

The printer-driver does not know how to correct the data, relative,
absolut, ... what should the driver do with colors outside the printable
range ? This questions must be answered in the application.
