Hi mrbrklyn,
You didn't say so but apparently you are using some flavor of Linux.
As far as modifying the source code,forget it.
The software that's supplied for Linux by Epson is binary only.
Now I might be able to help you with this but I need to know more about how you installed this printer.
(By the way it is Artisan,not Artiscan)
I assume you used cups to install this printer.
If your distro did it "automagically" then you might want to do it manually.
Another program additionally to cups that usually works better with the Gimp is gutenprint.

There was no ppd for the printer so I downloaded and manually installed one from epson:
LINK REMOVED BECAUSE OF ADMIN SETTINGS
Product name Artisan 1430, Epson Stylus Photo 1430, Epson Stylus Photo 1500
Language All language
OS Linux
Country/Region All country
Version Ver. latest(02-2012)
It shows up in cups as a Artisan 1430, but with gutenprint, only upto a stylus 1410 is available or an artisan 850
FWIW this is on opensuse 12.2
It just won't take a custom paper field. I was able to finally get the A3+ size to work responably.
