John,

If you are using a Mac and OS X try opening your final image file in 
Preview and printing from there using the custom paper size function in 
the settings window of page setup.

My guess since Preview is a unix based program it can pass the settings 
to gimp-print.  If you problem is trying to print custom sizes from PS 
7 the problem (again my guess) is that PS 7 was a carbonized version of 
PS 7 for Mac's OS 9 version and not all the unix functions are properly 
translated.

Hopefully, the next upgrad of PS will fix this problem.
