Any suggestions other then Kinkos?
There is a relatively easy way, but it involves an extra step.
When you print, print to letter size but save as PDF. Open the PDF in
Preview, and select the new page setup and scale to taste. When you
print on the larger paper, the whole image will just be bigger,
exactly as if you had zoomed it bigger on a photocopier.
There is an easier way that doesn't involve calculating scale. Open
it in Adobe Reader, set the new page size in Page Setup as before.
This time when you go to Print, there is a box called Page Scaling.
Select "Fit to printable area", which will enlarge the image to fit
the new page margins without you needing to calculate anything. There
is an option called Centre image or something, which is checked by
default and should take care of your centering issues.
I just don't like Adobe Reader, so I calculate the hard way in
Preview. Some Windows-generated PDFs are not liked by Preview,
though, so sometimes I am forced to use Adobe Reader.
