Here's a way to print an image which is too big for the paper.
It may fail, if `Image' is too huge for the printer's VM.
In this example, `Image' has a coordinate range of 2"<X<14", and 2"<Y<19",
yielding nice 2" margins all around, with a 1" overlap. This image will
be distributed among four 8.5" x 11" sheets.
0.0 10.0 inch 19 inch { % Y range, 1" overlap
0.0 7.5 inch 14 inch { % X range, 1" overlap

% No `showpage' at the end, because it's in the middle!
