Click Start>Control Panel>Printers and Faxes
Rightclick your printer>Properties
See if there is a "Device Settings" tab and click it.
It should have Auto, Tractor or Manual feed settings.
Click Auto's down arrow for paper size selections.

Go to the Epson website for updated drivers for the printers that are
compatible with WindowsXP, and download them.

Click on Printers and Faxes from the Start button and open the page listing
your printers. Highlight the Epson printer in question. Click on File >
Server Properties. It will open and you will see a Forms tab which lists
your preset paper sizes. Just below that you have a check box for "Create a
new form." There you can create custom paper sizes until the cows come home.

go to control panel->printers and faxes->select the printer.
Next, go to file->server properties.
Define your paper size, margins etc
click on save form
click OK

Your good to go... just go to the program you use e.g. quickbooks e.t.c and select the paper size you have just defined.
