ICM is the colour management system built-in to Windows.
Windows ICM uses ICC profiles for your monitor and printer; these
profiles describe the colours that your device is capable of
reproducing. ICC profiles can be associated with your printer via the
Colour Management
tab of the printer driver.
Depending on how you have installed the printer driver, the colour
profiles may already be associated with the driver.
To associate ICC Colour Profiles with the printer driver:
1.
Access the printer settings via the [Start] menu.
2.
Highlight the printer name and click on [File] then [Properties].
3.
Click the Colour Management tab.
4.
Under “Colour Profiles currently associated with this printer”,
you should see the names of profiles that match your printer
model. If you do not see any profiles associated with the
driver, click “Add…” and locate the ICC profiles for your printer.
Windows ICM uses the information in these profiles to convert colours
in your documents to colours that the printer can reproduce. The way
in which this conversion is performed can be controlled via the ICM
Intent control in the printer driver.

This provides a method of matching RGB colours similar to Windows
ICM matching. The main advantage it has over Windows ICM colour
matching is that it provides a method of printing using both input and
output profiles. Windows ICM matching only allows output profiles to
be chosen.
