You don’t say which version of PS you are using …
PS does not support multi-page output. To make a big print from 4 smaller ones, you need to cut up th eimage into 4 documents and print each one individually.
There have been some previous threads on this kind of topic ["tiling" pictures etc.].
You could also try finding a friend who has a large format printer and get him or her to print it for you.
Save it as PDF and print it from Acrobat using tiled pages.

My TILING options are greyed out in Acrobat 5.0. Win2K Pro. Page size is 22′ x 17′ so that should tile out on four 8.5′ x 11′ pages, correct?
That’s odd. Try the Acrobat forum.

…that Tiling feature in Acrobat is that the Free version(the one you can download on the web) or the retail version (usually the one you pay for)?
…and that you so much for all your respones thus far..
So if you print from Acrobat Reader doing the tiling thing, how would you put them together? I mean wouldn’t you see the seam lines from the paper?
Say I wanted to print like an 11 X 17 that I’d want to mat and frame, could I do that using this tiling method from Acrobat Reader?
(Sorry, can’t test…the kid has used the last of the ink…..again…)
Don’t know about Reader. I have the Acrobat Pro 6.0.

Tiling is not an option in the Reader version. Not that I’ve figured out how to invoke the tiling option in Acrobat Pro yet – it’s still grey out for me.
(yes…there will be seams)
Yes There is possible to tiling option in Acrobat 5.0.5 in print option at advanced. May be it will use full for you.
But i am facing the problem in the same as if i given a A3 Document to a A$ orinter in other applications it’s printing in Two pages but here it’s taking 4Pages i con’t under stabd how to put this in Two pages if any one suggest me
do to
Enrique,
You can control the print size in Photoshop’s Image Size dialog. In Photoshop 7 you can print a selection, which allows you to print a controlled part of an image. In earlier versions of Photoshop you can use the Rectangular Marquee to select a part of an image, Image>Crop to delete all else, Save As to save just that part of the original image as a separate image, and print just that part of the image. Then you can reload your original "master image" to select, crop, and save another part of it.
This technique lets you divide an image up into individual parts when you can then print separately. I use that technique to do a "tiled print" of a large image on several 8.5×11 sheets. My tiles measure 8×10 or 8×8. You have to trim off the excess white paper to have just the printed tiles. I have come to prefer the look of pictures made up from the square 8×8 tiles. Of course that means that my big picture dimensions must be some multiple of 8 inches.
