The somewhat convoluted method I use is as follows:

I have an Impression Publisher "blank" page with one large frame (to hold
the stuff to be printed) and one small frame (one text line high) at the
bottom right.

I drag the drawfile (saved from WebVoyage/ArcWeb) into the main frame,
where it gets automatically resized to fit.
If it all fits on one page, fine, I can print it;
but if the drawfile is too tall, I get a very shrunken version:

I double-click on the frame to get the "Alter graphics" box, and increase
the scale to 100% (or nearly).

If I only wanted to print part of the original, I just slide the graphic
up or down until the bit I want is visible ---  and print it.

If I want the whole think, I put the cursor into the botton-right frame
and press Return a few times to get sufficient (DTP) pages;  then change
the scale in each to (nearly) 100%, and slide each one up/down to get
a sequence of pages which contain everything.

This can get a bit tedious;  but it does mean that I can "arrange" the
printed pages exactly as I want them.
