Unable to print correct paper size with Print Creator

I decided to take a look at Print Creator using the latest 5.8 appimage 
for 64 bit Linux.

Printing a single image via GIMP works fine as long as I use a standard 
paper size like A4 or Postcard. However when I want to print a 
non-standard paper size which my printer supports like 7x5 inches there 
is no option for that size and no custom paper size, at least I've not 
found a way to set a custom size.

This is an issue for me and actually 7x5 photo paper is quite common 
especially for Canon printers (and maybe others as well). I know I can 
scale a photo in GIMP to be that size but by the time the photo reaches 
GIMP it is already scaled by Digikam so I'm not working with the original.

The current implementation to print via GIMP is fine if using standard 
paper sizes but to print on non-standard paper it is still better to 
open the image in GIMP and scale and print from GIMP.
