I’ve been trying to print a panoramic picture that is 12.5"X34.5 using Photoshop CS and an Epson 2200 printer. I using a roll of 13" paper that 32′ long. I’ve gone to page set up and created a custom sized paper, and when I do a print preview everything looks fine, yet when it prints the picture is only 8" wide instead of 13". I’ve email Epson, but their response was no help. I’ve downloaded the latest set of drivers and installed them, still doesn’t work. I’m using a G4 and OS 10.2.8.
If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
The dimensions in pixels are width 5578 height 2008, and the resolution is 160.667 pixel./inch. In page setup I’ve created a custom paper size of 13" height and 36" width and I’ve set the orientation at landscape at 100%. When I do a print preview everthing looks fine, but it doesn’t print that way. I am using the paper roll feed if that is any help.
The aspect ratio was what I was wondering about, but that seems close enough. You do have a peculiar resolution, though. I’m not sure that makes a difference.
I would go and download the latest drivers and the latest profiles for your printed from the Epson site.
When the printer first came out, roll paper was not supported in OS X.

Set Custom Paper Size to 12.85 X 44 (My experience indicates that 13 wont work; longer than 44 wont work either). Orientation:Middle Icon,banner Scale to fit media
Success!!!! I Set the custom paper Size to 12.85" X 36" with the Orientation as a banner, and used an older version Adobe Photoshop in OS 9.6., because of the size of picture I also had to allocate more memeory to Photoshop.
Thanks for your advice of printing only in portrait mode. Photoshop CS and OS 10.3 don’t work for me in landscape orientation even though they look fine in print preview. Rotating everything before you print it is a pain but a simple way to work around the problem.
