- I've tried the poster.c program that was posted here previously,
- and it's fine in what it does, but I've got a reverse problem
- that I'm hoping to solve. We've got a Laserjet II NTX, which gives
- us a 8" x 10 1/2" printing area, and I produce drawings that are
- 30" x 42". I'd like to be able to take a drawing, and have the
- printer break it into tiles like poster, but have the tile move about
- the drawing rather than have the drawing enlarged from a small
- area.
-
- Any hints ?
-
- The important things for me would be keeping the original scale,
- and line thickness, and taping it together for in house quality
- checking, before we send it out for the final printing. It would
- save us thirty bucks a plot!
