I want to print a single image that will ultimately be almost 2 metres high, and it's perfectly all right for me to do so by printing several A3 sheets of paper and gluing them onto a big piece of cardboard. How should I go about this? (I'm on Windows XP.)

Poster Printer works with your existing printer to allow you to print documents at a much larger size than would fit on a single printed page
(open source, Windows)

Thanks! However, it keeps failing with "The Printer returned an error" and it will not let me print anything. Have you come across that before? – Smashery Sep 10 '09 at 04:09

nope, works fine for me whenever i print a banner. – Sep 10 '09 at 04:18

I think it was that it was a network printer. I ended up just printing to PDF using CutePDF and then printing from that. Works great, thanks! – Smashery Sep 10 '09 at 04:28

I didn't try anything funky other than running the .exe as admin, but this wouldn't install on Windows 7. – Gordon Gustafson Apr 03 '13 at 23:14

I guess this software is outdated - the installator crashes during the process. – Tomáš Zato Sep 08 '14 at 09:38

PosteRazor cuts a raster image into pieces which can afterwards be printed out and assembled to a poster. PosteRazor is open source and is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

+1 This worked pretty well on Windows 7, although it didn't like my PNG so I had to convert it to JPEG first. – Gordon Gustafson Apr 04 '13 at 01:04

Aparently, they have updated it - I had no problems with my PNG file. – Tomáš Zato Sep 08 '14 at 09:50

Online interface is great, but is there a way to keep the original image rather than turning it into dot version? – Gordon Gustafson Apr 03 '13 at 23:10

Also, it forces various effect on images - simple splitting is not an option. – Tomáš Zato Sep 08 '14 at 09:44

LibreOffice Calc. Drag and drop your image to the Calc. Adjust page and print settings (in print preview), remove unnecessary headers, footers and etc. Print.
I also tried to do the same with Excel, but it ignores the drag and drop of an image and ignores image DPI when inserting the image from file.
