433 maintenance status bits since they are inconsistently implemented and
434 often unreliable.

439 - The scheduler did not track the "paused" reason properly if a
440 printer had other reasons associated with it.
441 - cupsSendRequest() did not clear old local certificate auth data.
442 - The PPD compiler did not search for localization files properly
443 (STR #3084)

480 - The commandtops filter incorrectly used the JCLBegin code to end
481 its jobs.
482 - The default BrowseLocalProtocols value was not set properly.

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

487 printer attributes when a job was canceled.
