Uh oh, I'm in trouble.  In Win98 (the good old days), you
could define a Custom paper size for a dot matrix printer.
That way you could define a 'special' printer that would
already have in it a paper size of 7" long.  Then you could
print to it in windows and not worry about the printer's
page size setting.

Now I'm in XP and it seems you can't do this?  When I go into
the printer's properties, you go to 'Paper/Quality', click
the 'Advanced' button.  Under 'Paper Size' there is a choice
for 'Custom', but when you pick it you never get to specify
the width/length settings!

This is an Epson dot matrix, so I'm using the builtin drivers
from Windows in both cases (win98 and xp).  If I cannot
pick a paper size in XP, do I have to print the data to a
file?  Will my Epson not do a form feed by itself?
