Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
The following is relevant to supported versions of Windows.
Hopefully the printer software is similar enough for the LaserJet that the following is relevant.
==================================
"Tile" printing, sometimes referred to "Poster" print size, is supported.
If not yet done,
Install the Full Software Solution / full driver printer software.
Download and Save, then Install:
HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw/M281cdw Printer Full Software Solution
Next,
If not done, Install Adobe Reader DC
Print PDF - Size or Poster
Print PDF in Adobe Reader DC
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
If printing at 100% or smaller, Page Sizing & Handling = Actual, Fit / Shrink to fit, percentage (wording varies)
OR
If printing “larger than 100%”, 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
Examples - PDF - Poster Print
PDF_Document_Poster_Compare_Tile_1
PDF_Document_Poster_CAD_2
PDF_Document_Poster_3
