At the very least you should be able to set custom sizes and select those. Its been an awful long time since I used an epson on a mac but I remember it being very similar to windows since it is using the printer driver for most of the choices. I also remember now how much I hated printing from

I've never used LR on Mac, so, I am not familiar with possible peculiarities. On Windows, it works this way: There are some LR print templates that set the page size, and some others that don't. So, it is a combination of choosing the template and "page setup" that is needed to be done in a

I like it and I'm 56. I've long been a fan of the Pirelli calendar. I've never put it in the same bin as more conventional pin-up calendars. I have no objection to them, other than it bugs me when the women are shown misusing tools. To me the Pirelli calendar has always been more about

That's a difficult one. Where do the lawyer's come in? The sentimentalists would want restoration because it is/was a much loved landmark. On the other hand a modern cathedral (like Coventry or Guildford) is a good option too. Sense must prevail. Even the Normans flattened many old 8th century
