solaris 10 and printer ppd files

Hi you all!

I've found a funny problem with my Solaris 10 Workstation, I've installed
solaris 10 in a SunBlade100 to replace an older PC with linux which was used
as printer server

I've got to configure nicely the two printers hanging on this server in the
new solaris 10 installation, thanks to the nice ppd files included now with
solaris 10, both printers work very nicely from the server, but when i send a
job from a remote machine, only garbage is printed, just like if the PS or
PDF files were translated into text and the plain text-like full of commands
and garbage file is printed, instead of the formatted one, the clients i've
tested are all linux machines, with CUPS used as printing system, and they
all use the same ppd files as the ones supplied with solaris 10...

has anyone found a similar problem? any hints about how to solve it?
Thanks a lot!
Pere Blay
