508 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
509 keywords.
510 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
511 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
512 often unreliable.
513 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
514 "crashed".
515 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)

517 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
518 printer had other reasons associated with it.
519 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
520 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
521 (STR #3084)

558 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
559 its jobs.
560 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.

562 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
563 printers.
564 - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
565 printer attributes when a job was canceled.
