Hi
I want to print large paper size document (ps) to A$ paper size (i have
dj930c) for later gluing ...
I found poster (old, free) and printgl (old, shareware) to do this ...
didn't try them yet (for printgl i only read that it can do it - but no
references in my quick manual reading)...
I have been searchig for this kind of utiltiy without success, hope someone
has some experience with this kind of stuff...

According to this page the driver supports poster printing. That might work
if printing an image but I'm not sure if it supports Postscript. Presumably
you have an application that can display the PS file?

On my HP6840 this is how you set poster mode...Probably different on the
dj930c.
