270 (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
271 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
272 filenames in the PPD file.
273 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
274 values.

292 status operations.
293 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
294 keywords.
295 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
296 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
297 often unreliable.
298 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
299 "crashed".
300 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
301 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
302 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
303 printer had other reasons associated with it.
304 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
305 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
306 (STR #3084)
307 - cupsGetNamedDest() did not use the fallback default like

336 have associated translation text (STR #3045)
337 - Updated the Spanish localization (STR #3043)
338 - Fixed build problems (STR #3040, STR #3047)

343 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
344 its jobs.
345 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
346 - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
347 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
348 printers.
349 - The scheduler did not give filters a chance to log errors or update
350 printer attributes when a job was canceled.
