Printers set up have incorrect page size

Hello,

I copied the print configuration from an old server onto a new virtual server. The old server was running:
cups-1.1.17-13.3.16
CentOS release 3.4 (final) Linux consshop2 2.4.21-27.0.1.EL #1 Fri Dec 24 02:04:03 GMT 2004 i686


The new server is running:

cups-1.3.7-8.el5_3.4
CentOS release 5.3 (Final) Linux 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5xen #1 SMP

I just copied the configurations, using the default laserjet.ppd file, and lpoptions like this:

Dest shop_hq00 page-bottom=35 cpi=17 lpi=6 scaling=100 page-right=36 page-left=19 wrap=false page-top=30
Dest shop_test media=Letter page-bottom=35 cpi=17 lpi=6 scaling=100 page-right=36 page-left=19 wrap=false page-top=30

"shop_test" is a test printer I set up using the same parameters as shop_hq00, but the output is the same, the page is too narrow and too short, and everything gets wrapped across the page, and too many pages get printed. I tried adding "media=Letter" to shop_test, but that made no difference.

What could I be overlooking?

Thank you.
