Hi:

I am trying to print one photo to cover 4 pages, yes each to print part of photo so 4 will make a 22" high poster. how do I do that?

this is a matter of your printer software. On my Epson it is under the 'layout' tab>multipage>poster and then the options are there for amount of pages.

Ty, but I still can't figure it out. I am using OKI5300 color laser, even the tech support could not help me, they feel it has to be in the software and not the driver for the printer.

There isn't a poster layout in PE3... have you looked under the options for your printer - mostly likely where you can change the page set up. If you can do it using your printer, it will be there.

TY, yes I have checked the printer settings. Also talked to OKI tech support, they say it has to be a software function, not printer function. I also have MS Publisher 2000, that program aloows larger pictures , but cant figure out how to , may be i need to use publisher and contact MS for guidance, thanks for your help

Are you able to do this in any other program - the only time I tried to do something like this on a Laser it was determined that at least the HP color lasers did not have this function available. The ink jets seem to all have it though.

This is about your printer - not the software. When you open the print properties in PE3 (or Microsoft Office or whatever) , the options it brings up relate to your printer. If it's not in your printer options then you can't do it - well not as a single operation. I have two inkjet printers - one supports it, the other doesn't...

I guess the workround is to edit the photo in PE3 to create the four (or however many) pages from the photo. Not ideal but possible...
