I want to print out a picture with an image size of 13"x23" using my epson 2200 and a 32' roll of paper. I can only get the printer to print pre-formated sizes such as 19x13, 8.5x23, etc. How difficult is it to cusomize the print size you want. The drivers manual makes it sound a little risky to use the user define paper size. Is it? Any help would be appreciated.

I dont see too many problems with doing that. I have printed a landscape montage on a sheet that was about 40" x 8" with no problems. Just make sure you have enough ink in all those tanks before you start. i also cut my sheet to about 1" oversize before feeding it in. It is very difficult to feed a sheet that size and get it square so you will need some margin for error.

In my 2000P driver software, at the very bottom of the size choices is one for "custom." I use it most for printing 3" buttons.

Your 2200 probably has the same hidden in there somewhere.

Use your print preview to make sure you got the numbers entered in correctly, especially on a large print.
