mmm, wonder how that happened. Here's the official word from Epsons site ...
Q:
What is the maximum page length for the printer?
A:
The maximum printable page length is 90.5 inches when using the Epson printer driver. This may vary depending on the application, operating system, and driver/RIP being used. Using a RIP may allow you to exceed this limit as well.
I know I've tried a couple of times a while back to go over a hundred inches with no luck.
So you were printing with OS X 10.5.8? Which version of the Epson driver?
I have MacOsX 10.5.2 with 8G RAM
I print from LR 2.4
Epson 9900 with version HW02995,1.12,A000
For the file: the pixel size 5282 x 43176 with resolution 120. This I manged to print.
The printer data of the output tells:
- print time 1:22 (one hour 22 minutes)
- total ink consumption 66.5 ml
- paper size 64297 cm2 (just cheap paper for testing purpose)
I just hang the picture on the wall, it's a full print of the image.
I'll try with a bit higher resolution like 180 and also I'd like to get
a bit bigger one - hight to full 44" which brings the length to 360".
I'm guesing it's more a issue on the file size, not a length issue.
The limit can be in any of the mentioned softaware - where is the first one?

ps. My Mac here is not in the internet and I'm using very slow gprs-connection
for internet with laptop. Email and very, very slow web browsing only.
