Sounds like you're at the limit of the printer under Linux. I have a 712c, and have the same empty space. You could set up separate print queues at different media sizes / print quality under cups, but I don't think this printer line (710, 712, & 720) will ever be fully supported under Linux. I later purchased an Epson 785 EPX that prints beautifully under Linux. Unfortunately, I seldom print, and the print heads constantly clogged on me, so I gave the Epson away. The 712 always works, though for photos and artwork it leaves something to be desired. If you ever do find a better PPD or method of printing from gimp-print, I would be interested in hearing about it.
