Problem or Use Case

When sending a print with a filament color that is not loaded into any AMS, it would be required in some cases to default to "Force color match" and have the job held in the queue until a printer with the matching color and material.
Currently the person printing can be surprised by the actual color printed without any indication it will change.

Proposed Solution

Add a checkbox to the filament mapping options, "Force color match". This would send the job to the queue and mark the job as "No Matching Material/Color" until loaded. I think this should be set to true by default. Must also work for dual nozzle prints.
