Epson LX 300+II, paper size and auto line feed

Hi,

I have 2 questions with regard to the LX300.

1. I cant seem to add a custom paper size of 26.8 cm x 9.3 cm (10.5 in x 3.66 in) under Print Server Properties? I can create the form, but when I try to select the paper size, it is not in the list.

2. A wierd problem with this printer, which is my 3 or 4th one, is that sometimes while lying idle for about 10 minutes it automatically feeds a few lines and does not go back to the original print position which leads to whatever is being printed is printed over 2 pages. Initial thoughts that maybe there was some kind of power management system going on which puts it into a ‘sleep mode’, but it looks like this is not the case.

Any information/links would be much appreciated. Thanks
