Hi Michael:

This is awesome! Totally works and is less time-consuming than my method by a long shot.  Those 
three images are adjoining pages. In the Windows version of Firefox that I am using, you get a 
preview panel in the bottom of the dialog box, so you can save them as page numbers dot jpg. In 
Windows, there's a dropdown for FILE TYPE, and if you choose ALL TYPES, you can then save the image 
as a .jpg.

Thank you! I would have never figured this out.

BTW, zooming to maximum magnification, saving the jpg and then setting for 10" width (so it prints 
on 11x17 paper) gets me 132.5dpi resolution and a height of about 14" (10" by 14"). The printouts 
are great and the resolution is better than I got doing it the old way, probably because these pages 
are trimmed exactly right since they are the scanned images from Google. In Photoshop, once you 
change the resolution to accomodate 11x17 (or whatever you like) printouts, you can save as a 
Photoshop PDF or as a jpg. What I do is save multiple jpg, titled by page number, and then 
consolidate them into a single Acrobat document using Acrobat software. There are other ways to do 
all of that.
