449 status operations.
450 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
451 keywords.
452 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
453 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
454 often unreliable.
455 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
456 "crashed".
457 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)
458 - Updated the HTML templates to use the final HTML 4 DOCTYPE (STR #3086)
459 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
460 printer had other reasons associated with it.
461 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
462 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
463 (STR #3084)

500 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
501 its jobs.
502 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
503 - Since the commandtops filter does not actually support ReportLevels
504 all on its own, don't list that printer command by default for PS
505 printers.
