In my search for an answer, I read that the application settings overrule the printer setting. Readers, do you agree? This would tell me that my settings in Inkscape are "overruling" the printer settings.
Inkscape can print custom sizes, can't it?
Thank you for your continuing help.. my stdents send their "Thank you" also.

Thank you for your help with Inkscape questions... I would like to introduce Inkscape to 4-5 students who love to draw. In order to help them, I have to have things worked out so that there are no problems. Kids love to show their work so I need to work out some printing problems.
I want to print custom sized documents (24 to 40 inches long x 8.5 inches wide in either landscape or portriat) from Inkscape, using an HP Deskjet printer and banner paper, but I can not get a continuous print-out of the document. I have every setting that I can find in both the application and the printer set-up to print on continous, banner paper with no result (first page prints then everything comes to a stop).
Does Inkscape have some sort of limit to printable size? I would image that there are a lot of you out there drawing and printing to custom sized paper some incredible drawings and other art work. Would you recommend not printing from Inkscape? If so, what are your suggestions and/or workarounds?
Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
