It sounds like your app isn't passing in the full locale with the
request (just the language), although I would argue that all of the
UNIX/Linux/BSD distros that don't include generic language localizations
are broken...

This is normal; it just means that a browser asked for a file if it
has been modified since a certain date, and the scheduler is returning
status 304 saying that it hasn't.

Given that you don't have AuthType BasicDigest or AuthType Digest in
your cupsd.conf file, this should never happen.

This happens when you try to cancel from another system as root; by
default, we add a small amount of security by mapping remote root
access to the RemoteRoot user (by default, remroot).
