Never tried, but PaintShop Pro should (print -> properties -> "paper/quality" tab -> custom).

PSP trial (60-day) = http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Corel3/Products/Display&pfid=1047024307383

What printer do you have?

In  PhotoShop, save the image as a PhotoShop PDF, then open it in Acrobat Reader 6.0 or 7.0 and you should be able to get it to print full size accross several pages.

HP psc 1210v all in one
not a bad printer. $100.00  ink is cheeper than other printers I have had and the best print quality I have ever used.

I would show the picture but the file is to large to put up here
Photo shop has it as canvas size width 22.985 x height  20.986
I hit print a box shows up with a solid blue square on the left uper side
right uper side I have position top - 5.257 inches
                                                 left -  7.492 inches

just under that scale print size
100%
height 20.985 inches
width 22.985 inches
show bonding box is checked
 all other boxes are not checked.
I hit print
a box comes up and says
the image is biger than the papers printable area
some clipping will accur
proceed
 i hit proceed
print box pops up. ( I would normaly hit properties and say best quality but I am sick of all my blue being wasted.) normal quality this time
print range all is checked
and I get 1 solid blue sheet of paper. >:(
I now have 1 corner printed and 4 sheets of blue. :-\

I must get ulead photo express working. 100 times nicer to work with
you tell it to print. A pop up comes in and asks what size. type it in and that's it.
no over thinking it just print to the size I tell it.
another cheep $10.00 program blows away a high dollar program
I have now printed out the MS PAC Basel and the marque. ( I all ready had a marque but it was yellow. HATED it. I had a old large picture from big lots and stole the plastic cover, cut it to MS PAC marque, printed out a new one with Avery 81/2"

LOL!

I thought you had some high-buck printer (printing as one sheet) and were using Ulead Photo Express :-[

The PDF route is the easiest way to spread across pages.
