301 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and

308 printer had other reasons associated with it.
309 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
310 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
311 (STR #3084)

349 its jobs.
350 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.
