Digital BW, The Print

Not sure what help this is...I'm printing up 30 + inches on my 3800 using
the front feeder. I am using a larger, 35 inch substrate to hold my paper. I
just reset the image size to the substrate size in the printer dialogue box,
and make sure I have at least 1/2 inch margin around the paper I am printing
on. The image has been oriented correctly (how I want it to print ) in PS.
This has worked in both PS 3 and 5. Using Mac 10.5.8.
