You can do it from Acrobat Pro, but I couldn’t get it to work in Photoshop directly. Then again, it’s 4am, so I’m not at my best (yet 🙂 )
If you do have Acrobat, use file>New>From File and pick the image you need to output.
Then go to the print dialog. Look at the pop-up menu for scaling; there are four or five different options; one of them will do what you want.
PS itself isn’t good at simulating what will happen on a printer it can’t talk to. The best thing to do is output this image at a Kinko or somewhere else that has a device whose driver is already being used by the copy of PS they have on the machine that will output the file. Sorry, but this is — without doubt — the best option out there. And not too much money, either, considering.
Hope this helps

Aloha. I have a pic that is 18 inches wide by 8 inches tall. When I try to print it in PS I am told the pic is smaller than the page, so it will be cropped. Is there a way to print the entire pic over several pages, rather than have it cropped down to one page?
Thanks!
Hi.
Photoshop is not applying any limit, but your printer is. Most Epsons will happily print on paper well over 18 inches long, so what you need is long paper.
You could buy a pack of A3 + paper, which I think is 19 x 13, and cut it down to 19 x 8.3, then select that size in your Printers Custom Paper Size dialogue. Any spare sheets can be cut down to A4 size.
I am sorry I can’t give you the exact sizes because I have recently moved house and all my Photo Papers are still in a box – somewhere!
