Using version 6 of Adobe Reader on 2k (if that matters);
Most manufactures have their Service Manuals in pdf form now (unfortunately).

Problem is, those (what should be) four and six page schematics are useless when printed on a single page ( the way they are farmatted in Reader) since there is NO way they can be read.

How can one of these (what should be) six page documents be printed out so they can be taped together to form what use to be in a hard copy manual?

I used to print pictures that spanned multiple sheets (like 5x5, 3x3). It was actually pretty fun to do. My sister would paint them wil oil paints and they'd look like originals. Anyway...

The option is in the print options... somewhere. I stumbled upon it by accident. It probably has something to do with selecting the paper size. I was using a Brother 1440 laser printer, and printing through Paint Shop Pro. I'll look tonight and try to find out how I did it.

Ok, I looked and your right.
I have a HP 930/950 series deskjet (I'll never but HP anything again, but that's another story) and it's under the 'features' tab. You can do; 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4 (16 pages).

Never thought of looking there.
