This method was posted way back on the panoramic photo list. I've never
tried it, I don't know if it works...

Here's an example of a procedure for creating an Adobe InDesign document
which contains multiple-continuous-pages that can be used to print long
images.

In the steps below, I will create a spread that contains 3 pages each is 4"
(a little short but will illustrate the point). For longer images, simply
create more pages and larger page size.

1. Create a new document: in the new document dialog, specify:
1 page, facing pages checked, page size: custom, width 4 height 4 all
margins and gutter 0, 1 column.

2. On the Pages pallete, create a new master: specify the number of pages: 3

3. Insert a new page spread with the new multi-page master by grabbing the
new master in the Pages pallette and dragging it to the pane below

4. Now, drag the 1st page that was created automatically into the trash to
delete it

5. Now, you have a new continuous multi-page document

6. Under the File menu, select Place... to place your image into the
document

7. You need to enable color management by going under Edit -> Color
Settings -> Application Color Settings and Document Color Settings.  In the
Application Color Settings dialog, in the System Profiles area, make sure
you select your printer for the Composite field. In the Document Color
Settings dialog, check the Enable Color Management box. Please read the user
guide for more info. (You don't have to do this step if you don't want to
use profiles)

8. Now go to Print... to bring up the Print dialog box

9. Select your printer and then click on Properties to open up the printer's
properties dialog

10. Under the Main tab, select the right paper settings

11. Under the Paper tab, specify:
(a) "Roll Paper" as Paper Source
(b) Define a new user defined paper size to match your document size, in
this example 4" by 4" - and then select the new size
(c) Set Orientation to Landscape
(d) Set Roll Paper Option to "Banner"
All of the steps above are important and need to be done correctly

12. Click OK to close Properties dialog

13. Click on OK to print

Happy printing...
