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.
