A3 with A4?

Solved
csmart -  
Hello to the whole community!

I have a big problem right now. I need to provide posters for my workgroup. These posters are supposed to be in A3 format. But I only have a printer (EPSON STYLUS C45) that seems to only print on A4 sheets...

So, simple question... How can I print in A3 from a printer in this case..?

Thanks everyone!!!

    After doing several tests, I was able to find the solution. I remind you that I have a Brother DCP115 C printer that only takes A4 or smaller formats.
    To print in A3 with A4 sheets on a printer that can only take A4 sheets, you need to:
    • 1-Start the print job.
    • 2-When the print window opens, go to properties.
    • 3-In the paper size tab, select A4.
    • 4-In the page layout tab, there are modes: Normal, 2 in 1, 4 in 1, 1 page on 2x2 sheets, 1 page on 3x3 sheets. Choose the mode: 1 page on 2x2 sheets.
    • 5-Confirm and start the print job.

    Your work will be automatically divided, and each part will be printed faithfully on a page. You will ultimately have several A4 sheets that you can simply glue together to create an A3, A2, A1, or even A0. In short, with my Brother A4 printer, I print all sizes, even custom dimensions.

    Happy printing.

      Well, no!!!

      1 A4 sheet cut into 2x2 makes 4 sheets, that's A2, not A3!

      To whom it may concern....

      this technique is cool thanks!! of course you need to choose 1 A4 sheet in 2x1 (2 sheets) to make A3

      That's cool, I read the message for the A2 after starting the print :o)

      By purchasing a small guillotine, you can do a perfect job and then stick your posters like the professionals do on panels in 2 or 4 parts, and it's also easier to stick because it's less cumbersome.

      Hello,

      I would like to print a drawing in A3 format with my printer, which only supports A4 format. It's to decorate the room of my future baby by tracing a drawing found on the internet, but I would like to print it in A3 because A4 is too small.
      I tested your information, but there’s no way because:
      - when I start the print, I don't have a "properties" tab
      - I can still select the paper size, but I also don't have a "page layout" tab...
      What should I do? Who can help me? Thank you.
