Digital BW, The Print

OK, here's step by step which I just confirmed.  

Choose image, size it.

Click print

Choose 2400 printer (if you have more than one connected)

Chose  roll paper

Select banner mode

Choose paper, etc.

Choose size--USER DEFINED
       Width  1295
       Length 4000 (this will leave some border on both ends)

Save as 13x40 pan so you can use this again

Change to landscape mode

Click OK, see first preview

Click print, then print again

Check preview that comes up, albeit slowly perhaps.  Here you should
see it as it will print out, centering and borders in real view

Click print and make sure you have room for the roll to come off

Hit the buttons to print the cut off line, trim and admire.

I just did all of this on my printer, but stopped at the preview as I
didn't need the print.

Hope this helps.
