Welcome to the HP Community --

Update / Edit - Include additional example of Poster print setup

Unknown Printer --

What you do depends on the printer and the applications or software you have available to complete the task.

Standard apps provide limited scale options -- if you have exhausted these then you'll want to investigate a more versatile method.

For example,

If the content is in (or can be made into) PDF format, use Adobe Reader DC and print the content in Poster .

Poster can print the PDF file in any size you like on as many sheets of paper as needed.

 Print PDF - Size or Poster

Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader DC 

Click the Print icon

Open Properties

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

Select your Paper Size

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

Next,

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 page size is equal to or smaller than the paper size and you want the output 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
