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
Dario

My workaround is to load roll paper with the "sheet" button checked and  then 
switch it to roll AFTER the paper is loaded. Saves a lot of 'end' papers. I  
do not use the printer's cutter.

...and this is not a QTR issue.  It's the way the 7500/9600's work.

I'm not at all saying that this is caused by QTR. I was merely asking
the group for advice on the matter (thank you Richard for the tip).
However I DO NOT THINK this is the way the large epsons are supposed
to work. I recall very clearly being able to load roll paper normally
and having the print start at the right position way back when I first
got the printer. Granted, I was using the epson driver and auto-cutter
on. But now even with these settings I get the extra feed.
