ABSTRACT:
A printing system that includes a printer for providing printouts of documents using printing media. Additionally, the printing system includes a computer that has a printer driver for the printer. The computer also has an application program that can receive information regarding a printing media size and generate printing information of the documents. A page of a document is formatted with this printing media size and when a printout of this document page is required, the application program generates the printing information for the document page. A further printing media size that is smaller than the formatting printing media size is also determined. The printing information for the document page is then segmented so that the segmented printing information provides for at least two segmented printouts at the printer. Each segmented printout uses a sheet of printing medium and at least one of the segmented printouts is of the smaller printing media size. When these segmented printouts are assembled, they form the printout of the document page according to the formatting printing media size.
