438 (configurable) to cancel or hold the job.
439 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the capitalization of
440 filenames in the PPD file.
441 - The cupstestppd program did not validate the PageSize and PageRegion
442 values.
443 - The cups-deviced helper program could miss reporting some backend
