Can I print an pdf drawing at a3 over two A4 pages on Deskjet 3050A??

[Jimbob1974]

Hi

Is the above possible as I only seem to have limiteded print options and cannot find a way of printing an A3 pdf drawing over two A4 pages.

If under 'page scaling' I select multiple pages per sheet, and then under pages per sheet i select 'custom' and '1 by 2' it shows the pdf drawing squashed into one of the two pages rather than being scaled to fit over both.

I've tried calling various help numbers at HP but just keep being referred to the diagnostic website and I can't find the answer.

Thanks if anyone can help. 

(i'm running windows 7 and the printer is connected wirelessly).

Hi Jimbob1974, 

From what i can see the A3 paper size is not a supported media size for this printer. Can you resize the PDF for A4 paper size?

Hi. I can print the document A4 fine. But then I can't really read it. On my last printer, a cheap 5 year old Lexmark, I could opt to enlarge the document and print on two sheets of A4 so that when taped together it produced an A3 drawing. I now fairly sure the HP printer can't do this?

Thanks

Hi Jimbob1974, 

This printer doesn't support the A3 paper size. I have placed a link to our current line products which support the A3 paper size. The HP Officejet 7000 printer supports 11x17 & A3 paper sizes.

Jimbob1974, give the PosteRazor program a try!

probably yes.
i think u'r problem is so simple that acrobat or word can help you.
one more: about one year ago, I was using special software ronyasoft poster printer which can print picture as multiple pages...besides application is very comfortable and simply . think, that can solve u'r task as well.
