I don't do print, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. I'm answering "ab initio".
I imagine that print shops expect to be asked to print photographs from digital cameras.
Digital photos are encoded as sRGB color space images, same as the renders we produce with GC.
Therefore, I conclude they can deal with GC renders.
It's a simple conversion to go from one color space to another. What is not so simple is the gamut - i.e. some color spaces can represent colors that cannot be represented in other color spaces. But you know that already. The important thing to note is that the linear space and the sRGB space have the same gamut.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
