I was thinking you probably have the Epson Roll Paper driver on your machine.
There is only one Quad7600 but Epson has several drivers.

Is my description that you get different size paper cuts depending on the
image size correct?  I.e. is this true:

There's a script in the download called DiagnosticScript.  You can run it and it
outputs a bunch of printer info.  Using the same Custom Paper size, print with
two different size images.  After each printing run the script and cut and paste
the output.  Send it to me.  It may have some clues.
