Much cheaper to just lose a Mars probe or two due to miscalculations :-)

All this talk of paper sizes is moot - the US uses the standard Letter size, most everyone else uses A4. The issue is to figure out how to deal with it.

For me, the font size is just too small, so I'll probably go with Printing as a Poster (in the Adobe print properties). This will automatically divide the pages into two; setting it to 150% zoom with 0.25 inch overlap results in a each page turning into two landscape pages with readable font sizes.
