Printing options 11x17 paper

It would have been nice if the OP had stated the version used earlier and I
probably should have asked that question in my original response rather than
having to wait till the next day for her to respond to your post.

Don't yet have Pub '07 installed and from what you have said, it might be a
long time before I get around to installing and learning it. Sounds like MS
might have made using the program more difficult than it was in 03. Not
trying to hijack the thread but what are the benefits to 07's print and page
setup that weren't there in the 03 version to cause the change (just the
printing not the whole program's benefits?)

Publisher 2003 does not have the problem the OP is experiencing. It is a
2007 issue. In 2003 print setup is straightforward. Not so in 2007...

I can't get it (PUB 2003 & Epson 1280 printer) to duplicate the problem
you are having even when changing back to a letter sized paper printer or
creating on a letter sized paper printer and "upsizing" to US B paper.
There is two places to change the paper size in Page Setup. The first
place you should change the paper to US B is under the Printer and paper
tab after you have selected your ledger sized printer from the dropdown
list of printers. Once this is done go to the other tab, Layout, and make
sure the paper size went to 11X17. If not click custom and type in the
numbers but you shouldn't have to select it as a custom size there if full
page is selected and that size is available to the printer.

If this doesn't help, let us know what make and model printer you are
using. Maybe someone can duplicate it.

I like Publisher 2007. It isn't a lot different than 2003.

The entire page setup and print leaves a lot to be desired. I have solved a lot
of the issues with workarounds. It is hard for me to explain to the poster about
the print. Maybe I'll put a page up on my web site.

I saved the doc as a PDF, then printed to 11x17 paper with no problem. Must
be some compatibility problem with our printer. Thanks for all the help!

I've set everything to 11x17, and still get my poster printed on 4-8.5x11
pages.

Setup your page & printer for tabloid. Don't look at print preview, it will
be
wrong. Do all the creating, when you are ready to print, go straight to Edit,
Print. You will have to change your setting again to 11 x 17 but it will
print
preview and print correctly.

Have you solved the poster printing issues with Publisher 2007 yet? (I noticed this post was from Sept 2007). I'm having a heck of a time with it. Had no printing problems with Pub 03. I can set it all up to print on 11 x 17 (scale to size), but it will only print an 81/2 x 11 size onto the bigger paper.

Are you setting up the printer first for 11 x 17? I've found the best workaround
for this is to go to the Advanced setup after you setup the printer, type the
dimensions. Layout type--One page per sheet. You can then select the tabloid in
the blank page setup. When you are ready to print you will have to select
tabloid again, it will preview correctly and print correctly.
