Default Printing options 11x17 paper

When I choose "custom" paper, it allows me to set 11x17, however, it divides
the poster into 4 parts and prints it 'tiled'. How do I change the "printing
options" under the "print setup" tab?

Is your currently selected printer capable of printing on 11 X 17 paper and
if it can is 11X17 selected in page setup, printer and paper tab? If not
you will have trouble printing on that size paper.....

Publisher 2007?
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.

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.

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 am having the same issue. I am using an HP officejet 6110. Everything is
set up for 11x17. I really need to get this printed ASAP.

It is helpful to know what version Publisher you are using.
If you are using 2007 read the answer I gave the original poster.

Thanks for the help. I am using Pub 2007 - and I have it set for tabloid.
I've set everything to 11x17, and still get my poster printed on 4-8.5x11
pages.

Are you getting this even though you are changing it to 11x17 in the File,
print? I will get 4 print outs in print preview, but when I am ready to print
and change it again to 11 x 17 in the print dialogue, it works.
I don't know what else to tell you.
