Your printer model was not recognized at all. system-config-printer has
simply assigned a text-only PPD file as it did not get any ID
information from the printer.

Please do the following:

Start the printer setup tool via

System -> Administration -> Printing

Remove the automatically generated print queues for your dot-matrix
printers by right-clicking the icons and choosing "Delete" in the pop-up
menu.

Click the "New" icon in the toolbar ate the upper left. Choose the
parallel or USB port where your dot-matrix printer is connected to.
Click "Forward". Then choose manufacturer and model of the printer, If
the exact model is not in the list, choose Epson, then 24-pin or 9-pin
depending on your printer.

After finishing you can adjust the print quality by right-clicking the
printer icon and choosing "Properties".

Now you should be able to print custom page sizes as described above.
