614 - You can now specify "AuthType Default" in the cupsd.conf
615 file to use the default authentication defined by the
616 DefaultAuthType directive.

658 if no data has been written yet (STR #2103)
659 - Due to poor IPP support from the vendors, the SNMP
660 backend no longer tries IPP connections; instead,
