Epson3800. Exceeding max print length
David Sutton:
This is old news, but my first chance to try this utility.
I've had the User Defined Paper Size Utility from http://dahmerphotography.blogspot.com/ sitting on my desktop for a while, but never had the opportunity to use it. It's designed to overcome the 37” max print length on the 3800 (and indeed on other Epson printers)
It won't work with the current driver, so yesterday I downloaded the driver version 5.5 from http://driverscollection.com/?file_cid=244...Fzx6yywwVz0P6oO, ran a virus check and installed it on my laptop connecting to the printer via the ethernet thingy. The installer listed it as version 6.1, but it shows 5.5 on the driver dialogue. Didn't want to try it on my desktop as this computer is working just fine at present and I've found this is the sort of thing that that can end in a hair tearing session.
Yesterday I cut 51” off a roll of Gold Fibre Silk and ran it through a de-roller and left it to settle on the kitchen table overnight. Today I ran the udps utility, updated Qimage, loaded in the desktop screen profile, Eric Chan's GFS profile for the AWB driver, did the settings in the driver and hit print. The 3 year old laptop has XP home and the cpu ran between 20 and 50%, but had absolutely no problems. I'm somewhat pleased with the results. This little utility is really quite satisfactory. I think I may even have a second coffee today.
Cheers, David

Very belated thanks for posting this David.
I've only just needed to make a print longer than the default 37" on my 3800 and found this old topic.
The links are still all working and it seems the author is still developing udps.
It all works as described and I've been very happy to watch a 17" x 50" canvas print slide out from my 3800.
FWIW I also just installed the old driver (5.5) onto my little £200 netbook and it handled the 320mb file without a glitch.
Highly recommended :-)

I can't seem to get the Dahmer (http://dahmerphotography.blogspot.com/) utility to download. Is it still available? Thanks.

Hi Rhossydd. I'm glad you found it helpful.
Jim- I no longer have a 3800 but kept the utility through lack of housekeeping. If you send me a PM I will email you the zipped version.
