Printing problems with Macs connected to a Linux cups server

I have trouble when we try to print from Macintosh (Mac Os 10.4) with cups 1.1.23 (packaged by Apple - uptodate ! )

These Macintosh are connected to an other Cups server running under FC5 with release cups-1.2.1-1.2 that really send to the HP printers thanks to Poscript mode

When we print want to print a simple file (exemple a file from Microsoft$ Excel) in landscape mode, the result is not centred, and decalated.
When you print in print in portrait, it's fine...

When i have a look to the log file i have that on the Mac


E [07/Jun/2006:16:30:24 +0200] get_printer_attrs: resource name '/printers/aaa' no good!

Communication between Cups servers seem to be wrong

BrowseInterval < BrowseTimeout and are default values (as seen in forum)

This problem as appeared since the recent update to cups-1.2.1-1.2 on FC5
Thanks in advance for your help
