461 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
462 keywords.
463 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
464 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
465 often unreliable.
466 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
467 "crashed".
468 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
469 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
470 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
471 printer had other reasons associated with it.
472 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
473 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
474 (STR #3084)

511 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
512 its jobs.
513 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.

515 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
516 printers.
