I set the printer and Qimage for 17x 25 inches.  All seems well and QU shows 16.994 x 24.994in in the right window pane.

Epson was set at "User defined" 17 x 25 inches too.  Paper thickness at 3, Color Management Off.  Etc.

Then when it prints, it reverts back to 8.5 x 11 inches so I waste a sheet of 17 x25 inch paper.    QU still shows 16.994 x 24.994 inches in the right pane.

What is going on here?  

Ver. 2015.107 fwiw.

add:

For some reason, even though I entered 17 x25 inches as "User Defined" and selected that in the Epson driver, it shows in "Size: 17 x 25 inches -> A4 210 x 297 mm"   

That 17 x25 is messing me up as the other part of 210 x 297 is 8.5 inches by 11 inches?  No?

How do I get this to work without wasting paper?

I have a 3880 as well, and I found this out - it may be the answer.
In the printer setup, if you have the 'borderless' option ticked and go into 'User Defined', you get a warning and if you click 'OK' the printer will always stick to the size in the warning box, whatever you put in the User Defined setting.
If you un-tick the 'Borderless' option BEFORE going to 'User Defined', the paper size changes properly.
Perhaps this is the problem, don't ask me why it  happens  

Sceen shot after the first way:



After second way:



You can't get borderless with user-defined sizes.

Interesting info on the "Borderless" Brian.  Thanks.

What I found was the "Page Layout" tab in the Epson driver screen has the "Print to Size" box checked and it showed the "Size:  17 x25 inches -> 8.5 x 11 inches" the first (Main)  tab.  I don't know why or how that "Print to size" gets checked (Default?), but when the Main tab's "Size:  window" has some -> it seems to be the issue and why it changed back to 8.5 x 11 inches.  I had 17.00 and 25.00 as the fill-ins, but it somehow goes to 8.50 to 11.00?

QU reports the size correctly in its window, but the Epson driver sure can fuddle the printing up if one doesn't pay attention to all the fine print in the Epson pop-up driver stuff.  Doesn't show the size issue that's about to go wrong when the Epson driver shows a "Preview" either (I don't see any size numbers there.).

Brian-

Red River, Inkpress, and a few others sell cut paper in boxes in 17x25 inches which is close to the 24x36mm FX sensor (2:3) format.  It's called a full-frame digital paper.  Actually, 17 x 25.5 inches is perfect a FX ratio and I cut off rolls to that size (Actually 28" inches is what I cut as it seems to keep residual ink blots, roller messes, bent edges, etc, off the end that I can trim off later, and I do it on canvas too as it is finicky feeding and gets wrinkled and needs to be trimmed at times.) and print full frame.
