If you need to print out a final size image of 22x17 inches, and you do
not have such a printer, then you will need to find out if your printer
has a "Tile" option. That will print a large poster/banner/etc. in
multiple sheets of paper. Then you just trim the excess and fit them
together like you are tiling a floor or wall, but with no space between
tiles. Sometimes you can print a "borderless tile" if your printer will
do this, and then you will not need to do as much trimming.
It really depends on which OS [and printer drivers] you use and what
your printer can do. My Ubuntu based OSs are more limited for printer
options than the Windows 7 has available to use. Scaling and tiling is
just some of the options that are not available in Linux but available
using Windows with the same printer.

Hello:
I’ve been spending time with a daughter who is visiting for a week, and am just
now getting back to my question about printing a document 22” by 17”. The
document I am interested in printing is a single page, twice letter size in
both directions. The area I wish to print is the entire area, with only ¼ inch
margins. It has many individual text boxes and would be very time consuming to
reduce font sizes for all.
I was hoping to print it directly from the LibreOffice Writer document, but
since that does not appear to be a possibility, I am content to save it as a
PDF document and print that. So yes, you can consider this matter resolved.
Thanks for the helpful responses.

Hi :)
Ahh, that does make sense then! Good to hear. It's a bit of a shame we
haven't heard back from the "original poster", Truett Bobo, so we still
don't know if he has solved the problem or not. The first 2 answers both
had good ways of handling the problem, mine might have worked (maybe). I
think just treat this one as solved in the absence of any feedback to the
contrary. Hopefully the problem really has been solved and there are other
questions out-standing.
Regards from
Tom :)

Is that 22 inches by 17 inches??!!??
/snip/
22x17 is what we call in the US B-size. 8½x11 is A-size, and B-size is
just twice that. C-size is twice B-size, and so on up thru E-size, then the
system is modified.
Probably the output is meant for a printer that can print B-size. Or
a plotter.
