I can’t see a way to print a large image on multiple 8.5×11 sheets. I would like to just tape together sheets to as an underlay on the light table.. I have used excel to do this by putting the image in a spreadsheet–a ss that is too big for one page prints out on multiple sheets.

Am I missing a way to do this in Photoshop–w/o having to select sections of the image and printing them separately. If not, perhaps a shareware plugin or app?

look in your printer options
mine will resize it for multiple sheets (Epson)

Thanks. I checked my HP printer options and didn’t find anything about multiple sheets. I also looked around the web and found that this question has been asked several times before. Hopefully Adobe will add a multiple page print feature at some point.

Sometimes the option is called Poster or Tile in the Printer Setup.

You should be able to do it from a Page Layout program like InDesign or Quark. Also, Freehand will do this and I imagine Illustrator would too.

Ken,

Most likely, this option is printer driver specific. Katwoman mentioned her Epson. I’d guess that the driver for your HP just doesn’t list the option. Have you done a Search for multi-page printing on the HP site?
