selecting the tray or the roll as the paper source for printing

my printing machine is a canon ipf 5100.With Aperture 2 it was easy to select "tray" or "roll" in the printer driver.With Aperture 3 it is impossible because their is no such option in the Aperture 3 driver.I have tried to download the last version of the ipf 5100 printer driver but Aperture 3 doesn't take it.What can i do to recover my options "tray" or "roll" for my choice of paper?

imac, Mac OS X (10.6.2), leopard snow!!!

When you select Print, the print dialog will have a drop-down menu for Paper Size. Near the very bottom of the paper sizes you'll see an option to select Roll Paper and then you can define the size of image you wanted printed.

At least that's where it's defined for my Canon printer driver (for the PIXMA Pro9500 II).

Your wording has me confused. You said you were unable to select tray or roll in the printer driver originally. I showed you where the roll selection is; if you do not select roll in the driver, then it will use tray for all the other selections are cut-sheet paper.

You last message says you can only select roll in the printer. Make these selections on the computer from the print driver, not the physical printer.
