Printing large images as multiple A4 sheets using IrfanView?

Apparently this is not supported in IrfanView – there are a few standalone tools that allow for it:

• Paint, bizarrely enough:

  How to Easily Print a Large Image to Multiple Pages in Windows | Scottie’s Tech.Info

  • Open the image you’d like to print in Paint
  • Select: Print -> Page Setup (Vista and 7), or File -> Page Setup (in XP)
  • Under Scaling, select Fit to and change the setting to something like “2 by 2 page(s)”
  • Click OK
  • Print the image from Paint, and make sure to select “All Pages”

• PosteRazor

Irfan View not out of the box, but possible:

Go to: Options->Export Image Tiles->Set Rows and Columns. Next you can print individual images or in Thumbnails mode.

I use Posterazor all the time. For me, it works for printing large images on different sheets of paper and has features I find useful.

(Disclaimer: I am not associated with the Posterazor product in any way.)

Check your printer driver options. Some printer/copier manufacturers include this functionality out of the box, calling it Poster mode, or some variation thereof.
