Hello Steve,
OPM and IJC are two separate programs, you can run one without the other.
OPM is the printing portion, you use OPM to import a image, position it on
the page, select a profile from a popup menu and print.  IJC is the program
that makes and modifies the profiles used by OPM.

Currently you can only print one image at a time in OPM.
