"Unsupported character set" message makes no sense

I brought up a CUPS server on Fedora 8.  The server is the Fedora build that comes bundled with the OS.  The version is 1.3.9.  I'm getting the following message repeatedly in the CUPS error_log:

Unsupported character set "localhost" from host iso-8859-1! Clients must use us-ascii or utf-8.  Future versions will reject this request.

The host name and character set are reversed in the message, which is more than a little confusing.  Any idea what the real problem is?
