QTR-Quadtone RIP

Running QTR on Windows XP. I use it to drive an epson 7600 and I've
mostly printed on sheet paper. Recently I've got some paper in roll
(24" wide). Set the auto cutter off (both on the printer panel and in
QTR) and the printer just feeds and extra 7"-8" of paper ahead of the
very start of the print. Researching the archive on the
EpsonLargeFormat group some suggest to set the auto-cutter on on the
panel and off in the driver. Tried that and several other combinations
but no success. The only way that I can avoid that damn extra paper
feed is by using sheets. Anyone has any experience with this?

Thx
