Have issues printing one large image in multiple sheets

[tonyt2001]

I have an HP office jet pro 7740 and I’m having trouble printing one large image from photoshop into multiple 8.5”x11” sheets. The print setup/layout doesn’t offer that option for some reason. Is there away to print posters in that setup with this printer?

Welcome to the HP Community --

The printer is not aware of what it is printing.

Job configuration is in the control of the program used to open, view, configure, and submit the printer must support Poster printing.

No information on Operating System / version provided.

Relevant to Windows

If not done, Install the Full Feature Software for the printer.

(Ask if you need help.)

Consider emplacing the image into a document > Export the document to PDF

If you have not done so,

Reinstall / Update your PDF Reader (Adobe Reader DC /Optional Foxit Reader)

HINT: Watch out for and UNCHECK unwanted extra software

 Print PDF - Size or Poster

Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader DC 

Click the Print icon

Open Properties

Set Shortcut to Everyday Printing or similar (Plain paper printing, single sided)

Select your Paper Size

Click OK to save change(s) and Exit the Properties menu

Main print menu

Page Sizing & Handling

If printing at 100% or smaller, and the content fits on the paper, Page Sizing & Handling = Size

Then select Actual, Fit / Shrink to fit, percentage (wording varies)

OR

If printing “larger than 100%”, or the content size requires it, Page Sizing & Handling = Poster

Poster Printing - Notes

• If the file is smaller than the paper size and you need it larger, increase the Tile Size
• If the file is already larger than the paper size, it will be divided into Tiled sheets needed to print the file
• Enter an "overlap" and whether you want the "cut marks" included

When ready, click to Print

How to Make Your Own Posters Using Tiled Printing

Tiled printing is when you print out a large image over several pieces of paper, with each piece of paper acting as a “tile,” hence the name. From there, you line up the tiles to form a grid, thus creating your huge wall poster.
