i’m trying to print out a 2.5×18 in. picture on 8.5×11 in. sheets of paper, and then put them together by hand. but when i print the picture, it just prints as much as will fit on one paper. how do i change the print settings to where the whole picture will print out, but on different sheets of paper?

You can’t print out one image over multiple sheets in Photoshop – you need Illustrator or Indesign for that.

You can however copy the extra onto another page and print that.

You could select the Crop tool, and in its options bar, enter dimensions of about 2.5×9.5 (to provide some overlap). Drag over one side of the image, press Enter, and print that part. Optionally save the crop to a new file, undo the crop, drag over the other side, press Enter, and print that part.

Of course, you have to set your page margins so the long dimension will print fully. I don’t know about other printers, but my Epson lets me enable its own print preview mode, which stops just before printing, displaying the image it plans to print. That has saved me a LOT of paper for times when I forget to switch to landscape mode, or forget to center or uncenter the printed image, or forget to set the margins properly, or whatever.

Your printer driver may offer this as a layout option. Have you explored all of the tabs to see if it will tile for you? Alternatively, save to a PDF and print from Acrobat or Reader, both of which give you the option of tiling, if I recall correctly.
