Epson printer preferences-delete?

My Epson printer won't stop using roll paper as a selection when I try to print from Preview.

How can I delete the presets?

I'm on a 3 yr old i Mac using Hi Sierra (so I can continue with my pre-subscription Light room to retain old images).

Thanks for letting me know how to delete presets!
