go to the print window, make sure the thing (sorry i can't be more descriptive) at the bottom is set to safari, and you should be able to chose print size from the other menu thing above what should be set to safari. I attached an image to get my message across better.

sorry i think i didnt make myself clear, this is exactly what i want to do is make the ncaa basketball bracket spread onto like 6x4 pieces of paper (tape together to make a huge picture) i got the image off of cbs sports now i just need to know how to make it huge. maybe photoshop or another program would do it. i have no idea though.

Try http://www.gimp.org/

It's like Photoshop, but free. Much better than messing around with print options.

I've been trying to find a free program that will let you do this.

I came across Poster Print but it's like $20.

I did finally find Tiler, but I guess it only works with PDFs, which is easy enough to make.

It's a place to start anyway.
