You're better off posting to the Apple printing list for this sort
of question...

In the case of 10.2.x, the custom page size handling code in OS X
did not agree with the code in CUPS, so most driver developers have
to include a small amount of extra code in their CustomPageSize
line to swap the width and height as needed.  I'm sure the Apple
engineers can provide you with a sample...
