I have a panorama photo shot stitched together from a recent swim meet and
it looks neat.
It's about 5500 x 1164 - which looks to be 28" x 6" or ....

SO - where or how can I get this jpeg printed - options ?

I may take it to Ritz, Kinkos, or some other place that can print a 28 x 6
jpeg
and then put it into a 36 x 12 frame -

FWIW - I believe there are some Epson photo printers capable of handling
roll paper out to about 30 feet.

Quite a few places which do large prints on high quality paper. Some
might offer aspect ratios which come close to the one of your image.

But what you can do is cut the print yourself. There are for instance
long aluminium rulers and rubber mats with which you can precisely and
cleanly cut large prints. You might also buy large paper cutter, but
they are very expensive.

Most Canon printers will handle long paper as long as it is no wider than
A4, I cut A3 to A4 length and just tell the printer via a "custom" size.

The only way I've found is to stack multiple
panoramas on top of each other, bringing the
overall aspect ratio back in to something more usual,
then having a poster size print made (e.g. 30" x 20"),
then cutting the separate panos out.

You could be right. I wouldn't know since I don't buy canon. My personal
response to their total and legendary lack of support for Linux.
