Generic support is already in Gutenprint and selphy_print, but I need actual sniffs of USB traffic to know exactly how to tell the printer to do its thing.

The 6900/6950 supports these panorama sizes in their Windows driver:

  • 6x20" 6x18" 6x14" 6x12"  
    
  • 5x20" 5x15" 5x10"

Got my hands on a 6900, but am still waiting on media.

Added generic panorama support into the backend, but until I get the media and capture some windows sniffs, I won't know how tweak the command sequence to make it all work.

The 6900 does its panorama split/etc from within the heavily-customized "KA6900ImageProcessing" library. And sends all of the pages over in a single print command. This is fundamentally incompatible with the existing panorama flow.

Once I am able to get basic printing working I will revisit panorama stuffs.
