The driver is buggy as hell. At least on the Mac driver, you can create
a custom paper size that's 12.92 inches wide and any length. Printing
13.00 inches wide results in an 8.5x11 or 4x6 print in the middle of the
full length of paper. That sounds like what's happening to you.

Banner roll printing, which should chop the paper at the correct length,
is totally broken in the Mac driver. I've heard complaints about it on
the Windows driver too.

I think Epson's real goal is to make you buy as much paper and ink as
possible. I always do test runs by printing a rectangle outline onto
scrap paper. It saves a lot of money while searching for a
configuration that isn't defective.

Works fine for me (windows) except for the length limit. I was able
to get around that by using Qimage.

Using Qimage, I was able to produce a 62 x 13" version of this:
