@JulesMartin, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Enlarging an Image to Print Over Multiple Pages on HP Photosmart 5520! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

To print an enlarged image over multiple pages using your HP Photosmart 5520 e-All-in-One Printer, follow these steps:

Load Paper:

• Load the required paper size into the paper tray of your printer.
• Ensure the paper tray extender is open.

Use Specialized Software:

• Utilize printing software like Adobe Acrobat or any other graphic editing software that supports printing large images over multiple pages. Such software typically includes a tiling option to divide an image into several printable pages.

Print Settings Inside of Your Printer Software:

• Open the image in the software.
• Choose the print option, then go to the print settings.
• Select the "Poster" or "Tiling" option within the print dialog box that may be available to divide the image into multiple pages properly.
• Set the scaling option to ensure it correctly enlarges the image across several sheets.

Example Using Adobe Acrobat:

Open the Image with Adobe Acrobat:

• Convert your image into a PDF file.
• Open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat.

Tile Print Options:

• Navigate to the print dialog box.
• Select the “Poster” option which will allow Acrobat to divide the image into multiple pages.
• Configure the "Tile Scale" percentage to achieve the desired level of enlargement.

Print:

• Apply other print settings as necessary and start printing.  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
