And yes, I think it's a timing bug. Earlier in the test suite (4.3)
there are a set of ops including printing, cancelling etc. It looks
like the issue in 5.4 on armel is that the cupsd itself hasn't had
time to finish cancelling a job. Adding a trivial "sleep 10" at the
top of 5.4-lpstat.sh makes things work fine for me. There should be a
better way to do things, but I'm not an expert here.

I'm surprised that the calls to ipptool in 4.3 don't pick this up
directly themselves...

Pitti?
