    That’s a nice map! Looks like the authors contact info is at the bottom of the page?

    The author says in the blog that it is 12" x 144". It's a really nice map but could be hard to print. You would need a plotter for instance that could print a 12 foot poster.

    You could print it out though horizontally on 12 sheets of paper or so by scaling it down a little bit. Fit to page might work easiest to scale it.

    You might try printing it out in Landscape layout on 8 1/2" x 14" legal-size paper to keep the map at full-size. You could even scale it up a bit by selecting the "Fit to page" option. Allowing for a 1/2 " margin, top and bottom, and left and right, you would need 21 sheets of paper for the map. If you make the left margin a little wider to accomodate a legal 2-hole binding clip, you can make the map into a flip-book.

    I recommend shutting down all unnecessary running applications to free up as much memory as possible on your PC. The graphics may suck up a lot of the available memory when printing the map.
