Hi. I had a great setup with the old qimage and an xp machine, but after I had to change to win7 my system went to (insert appropriate word). Now I have excess amounts of unused paper every time I make small 5x7 prints, because it prints out the same A3 sizeish sheet from rollpaper everytime. Before I had a custom size set in the prefs to make the sheet cut of the same size as the prints with a small border.

Now when I go to printer settings from qimage, set size to userdefined and save settings, it will not retain those settings and change back to A4. I saw that somebody else had a simular problem, but found out what it was without sharing. If somebody would share the solution, or point me in the right direction I would be grateful.

I`m on Qimage Pro with Win 7 and an epson 4880 (and soon drowning in white unused paper scraps piling up alongside it from the sizetrouble...)

I tried to set up a userdefined size of 3900mm wide and 2800 mm height to accomodate two prints of 13x18 cm pr slice of paper.

Pressed the paper settings dialog from qimage, pressed properties, paper layout and set the size to 3900*2800 mm with rollpaper as source. When I return to the dialog, it has returned to the old size settings and won`t listen to any of my imput...

Regards,

Fred is right, you are entering one zero to many. For two 13 x 18 prints I would set it to maximum width and 150mm  length (there is no reason to use less than the maximum paper width).
Upgrading from XP can do this sort of thing to you, don't worry we've all been there
