Is there a print option in Photoshop to automatically split an image that’s larger than 8.5×11 inches over a few sheets, so it can be assembled into a larger print? Thanks.

I have used Dana’s method with success, particularly when I used a plugin that draws a grid on a separate layer to use as a cropping guide.
Other than that, the only program I know of that will print a large image like a mosaic, sheet by sheet, to be taped together is — believe it or not — little ol’ MS Paint.
My printer gives me such options as well. Some printers have poster at 4X4 Sheets and some 5X5 sheets. You can use either 8 1/2X11 or 8 1/2 X14 size page.
I realize you are trying to use your printer. However, have you priced wall size prints at a lab ? A typical 16"X20" wall size is around $15.00 if you ftp it to the lab. And, if you do print it yourself … how were you planning on mounting it ? Mounting would add about $6.00 or so. Again .. I know you were looking for a way to do it yourself but wall sizes have a tendency to want to curl up. And if you spliced it together … it would be even more of a problem. So, my suggestion is to look at a bunch of labs … either local or via the net and ftp service.
as Craig says. Prepare your image in AdobeRGB(98), resolution 200dpi if photo- like, 300 dpi if with thin lines and text (dpi for the final size). Uncompressed. Send it on CD to a large format printer (or by ftp if possible). Tiling is wasted time, and mounting the fragments is really not pro- fessional.
I just want to make a proof so see how large I want the image and how it looks at that size. If I want more professional results, I’d take it to Kinko’s.
