500 - ppdOpen*() incorrectly loaded PPDs with multiple JobPatchFile
501 keywords.
502 - The network backends no longer report the SNMP "offline" or
503 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
504 often unreliable.
505 - The scheduler no longer logs child processes killed via SIGKILL as
506 "crashed".
507 - The printer link shown on the "job moved" template was bad (STR #3085)

509 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
510 printer had other reasons associated with it.
511 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
512 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
513 (STR #3084)

550 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
551 its jobs.
552 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.

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