Epson 1280 paper size question

GREAPER

I own an epson 1280 printer. It will accept 13" paper and will make prints up to 13" x 44" long according to the manufacturer.

I purchased some nice 13 x 19 Illford paper to print a couple of larger prints.

When printing you select the paper size from a pulldown tab in the page setup.

The largest paper listed is 11 x 17.

Does anyone know how to set this printer to print 13 x 19?

Thank in advance.

Brian, will the Epson driver let you set up a custom paper size?
I am not familiar with the 1280, but for my 4000 I can create and save any custom size. The 11.7 x 16.5 (A3) Epson paper is not a routine choice offered in the driver, so I had to enter it as a custom size. It is in the drop down menus in the driver somewhere.

Do you have a paper size "Super B"? That is the 13x19.

Yes, I do, and it looked like it worked, in the print preview it filled the page. I clicked print....

It printed me an 8 x 10 in the top left corner of the page... there went three bucks.

I will take a look again tomorrow when I am not sleepy, to much $ in ink and paper if I am just doing something stupid.

Thx for the help.
