I am trying to use Photoshop to create a glass pattern that is larger than letter size paper. Is there a way to print a single photo split across multiple pages?
The easiest way to do this is create a Photoshop PDF file from the large document and then open the file with Adobe Acrobat (I have Reader) and print it as a banner. This correctly tiles the document to fit across multiple pages. Thank you for all your quick responses to my question. If anyone from Adobe is listening - why not put tiling into Photoshop???
Although that works, it’s a lot more work than the other suggestions. Using the automatic tiling in Acrobat or InDesign means you just set it up, click Print, and it works.
The Slice tool method also has several problems:

It's called tiling. Create the doument at a size larger than the printer can handle, then you should see an option in the printers panel or in the printers preferences for tiling. If you have acrobat pro, that has a tiling feature as well.

Create a new document at the size you need it, then make guides to divide up the canvas into 8.5in x 11in sections. Add your graphics and when you're ready to print select one of the sections and crop the image then print it, then undo it and crop the next section and print it and so on. I'd flatten the artwork before each crop.

Photoshop doesn't have a tiling feature as far as I know and I looked. Place the file into an Illustrator document. Illustrator has a tiling feature in the print options that make it very easy.

Epson printers usually have a tiling function. You can take a file and print it in up to 16 sheets.

Hmm, I could have sworn Photoshop had such an option, oh well, here I found the next best thing, (sort of, since I have not tried it)

Eh....I dunno. Sure you can do it from Photoshop but what's this 5x5 and 3x3 stuff? In Illustrator it's very straightforward. You simply make your image as big as you want it to be and then specify how much you want the prints to repeat along the edge (1/2 inch, 1/4 inch etc.,) Illustrator automatically put it on as few sheets as possible to print it at the size you need. What could be easier? But that's assuming you have Illustrator of course.

Thank you so much for posting this solution! I am happy to have gotten the right answer. A Note to future readers: My version of PDF reader ( Version 10.1.7, November 2014) it is NOT called 'Banner', it's called 'Poster' in the Reader print dialogue box. Took me a while to find it.

I am shocked that something like this is still not in all appropriate Adobe products.

Absolutely brilliant! Resized and printed original as a poster in seconds. No muss, no fuss. Thanks for sharing the info!!!!

Its incredible that there is no tiling feature. I think PS is alone on this. Maybe when printers become obsolete they'll add the feature.
Anyways, thanks for the PS Extension link, i may try that.
An alternative is Microsoft Paint, yes that free tiny program (that many people criticise). Open your pic with Paint, print preview, change paper size from Scale to 100% and it'll tile to your paper size.

If I recall the free adobe reader can print tiled pages. If it does, just save your images to pdf. (I see this is a year old thread, sorry. But I will keep this info here just in case someone else has this issue.

Hi Paul. The Print Settings dialog refers to the settings for your printer - not all printers will have a tile option (mine doesn't).

You can do this in photoshop. Slice the image into the desired pieces with the slice tool, File > Export > Export for Web (Legacy). When you Sav..., choose Images only and choose to save each slice.
Format: Images Only
Settings: Default (or whatever)
Slices: All Slices

Overall, it is much easier, faster, and more reliable to use automatic tiling.
Using Acrobat is easy because the Reader is free, and can open Photoshop files, so you can be ready to print in less than a minute. Just open the Photoshop file in Acrobat, choose Print, set up tiling, and you are done.
I agree this feature should be in Photoshop. But until then, tiling in Acrobat or InDesign is the simplest, fastest way. In the picture below, a Photoshop file is shown ready to tile in the Print dialog box in Acrobat.

Kudos for the succinct explanation - and it uses free software, some very nice tips there.
