I guess I mis-understood at first.
I don't use roll paper nor have a 7600 so it's hard for me to test.  QTR and
Epson driver are completely separate so its likely they are different.

My suspicion is that somehow the Custom Paper Size or Page Setup is the
issue.  I would create the custom size with the default margins -- .25 top
and .56 bottom.  Make sure you Format For the correct printer in Page Setup
and the correct Paper is selected.

Then in Print with Preview of Photoshop position the
image with the extra white space at the bottom.  This is the best place to
visually see the paper, margins and image.  Verify that the measurements
all add up here.
