There are printers that print that large...they're inkjet. But the price
is in the $2k to $3k range.
If you must have hardcopy, print with tiling (I have no idea how or if
Publisher does this as we use Indesign and Quark) or print to a PDF and
do scaling...both screen and hardcopy.
I'm guessing you want two things...the overall look and balance of the
spread, plus you want to proof the layout kerning and leading...line
breaks, spacing, etc. With a PDF, you can reduce it down to fit the
screen or paper you can print/view, and get a feel for the balance of
the columns, etc., and then you can zoom in for proofing of detail.
And, most printers these days LOVE to receive PDF input.

Stupid question here.
Broadsheet according to Wikipedia is 15 inches by 22 ¾ inches
So I did my first newspaper according to those specs in Microsoft publisher.
Come to find out the printer wants 11.625 x 22.75
So I spent the day resizing everything.
I can’t find a printer that handles 12 x 23 inch paper.
Samsung does make an interesting monitor that pivots that MIGHT allow me to
see it full size at 12 x 23

How do your clients, or you handle something along these lines?
