I have a similar question, and I don't think the previous answer addressed the basic question.
I want to print a 20x24 inch poster on multiple (9 in this case) 8.5x11 sheets.
Several of my older HP printers could do this simply and automatically. Each printed sheet contained a segment of the poster which could be trimmed and taped together. I cannot find a way to do this using my new 8710 printer.
I am trying to print from a Powerpoint 2016 slide (using Windows 10 and Office 365). Although I set the document design to 20 by 24 inches, when the slide prints out it is simply scaled down to fit on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet.

The following is an idea to consider.
It may -- or may not -- be relevant to your situation.
If you can do so, export your poster / document to PDF format.
Open the PDF file and print the document as a Poster.
Adjust the Tile Size as necessary to obtain the results you want.
The example shown below shows Poster settings to print a page containing an image.
The PDF file is normally printed at 100%; each image in the test file fits on one sheet of standard "Letter" paper.
Select Poster and Tile Size = 300% to print the image on size sheets of paper, each paper to contain a "portion" of the image.

This is a great "work around". Thanks for the suggestion. It seems to work fine.
I was hoping there was some setting for the printer that I just wasn't aware of, sine my older HP printers did this automatically.
Thanks again.
