About this: If you try to use the Epson drivers (does not matter if is the one built in Windows or the one in the Epson´s website), you never will be able to apply your custom paper size. BUT, you can use the IBM Pro Printer II driver, and then you will be able to apply your custom settings. This is because all the impact printers are based in the IBM model. Try it.
