    If you use windows, just use the built in paint program!

    By default, printing will use the image DPI and span the picture across as many pages as needed, automatically!

    Didn't know that.

    What I've done in the past is use Acrobat (not Acrobat Reader) to load the image. Then I just tile the image using a 1/4" overlap. Trim the interior whitespace, use the overlap to properly align the sheets, apply clear tape and presto!

    Now I'll have to give both Paint and PosteRazor a try.

    Update
    Let me just say that PosteRazor is my new map slicer and dicer! Exceptionally easy to use, free, cross-platform and free...oh, did I say that already?
