Digital BW, The Print

hi everyone,

i'm new and am having a problem printing on an Epson 2200.  what i'm trying to do is 
print 13x34 inch panoramic images from hasselblad Xpan negatives.  the prints seem to 
be going fine using GIMP-print, but for some reason that inexplicably stop partway 
through, ranging from maybe 1/4 to 3/4 of the way through.  sometimes i get a message 
saying "unable to send print file to printer (canceled 0)" and other times there is no. 
message.  when this does happen, i get the error on the printer itself in which the paper-
sheet and all the ink lights are blinking but the power light is dark.

does anyone have any idea what might be going on?  i've printed one beautiful B&W 
panorama using the quadtone rip software, but i'm stuck after that.

best,
brad daly
