Scaled printing

[Osterman Oldenburgs]

This may be a Vista Office problem in general, but here goes:

I have created a poster that is 36"x24". I want to scale the document down
so I can take an 8.5"x11" sample to the print shop when I go. I have gone to
File.Print and selected the properties button. Then I select the tab titled
"Effects" to select either "Print Document on Letter and Scale to Fit" or
"25% of normal size" but neither option actually changes the way the document
prints. Publisher is still committed to printing the 12 sheets of paper and
tiling the printing.

What am I missing? I thought this was how I did it in my 2003 version of
Publisher but it certainly isn't working now. Any ideas?

This has ended up being a problem with the printer drivers for my two HP
printers. While my printers don't do the right thing, other printers do, so
this doesn't appear to be a Publisher/Office problem.

Thanks for your help!
