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
