Can I print an image and set it to scale-to-fit on a page?

I'm using Adobe Photoshop Elements and I need to make a few tweaks to an image that is quite large but will be scaled and printed on a document from another application (Crystal Reports, if you must know.)

I need to make changes to my image and I'd like to actually print the image out from within Photoshop Elements as a preview. The problem is that the image is really large and scales across multiple pages.

Is there some setting that I can change that will force the image to be scaled to fit within a standard document?

I can't find this anywhere.

This is quite simple in Photoshop Elements. With any image in PSE, just click print and check the box "Scale to Fit Media" in the print dialog as shown below...

Be sure to set your paper size first.

I'm not great with printers or printing, but couldn't you create a new document in Photoshop with the "U.S. Paper" preset and then import your image onto that document, and then print? It should be scaled on the paper just as it is on the new document, then.

Save the image as a jpeg, png, or something similar, and then open the image using Windows Photo Viewer and click print on the top menubar:

It will give you various scaling options in the dialog box, including scale to fit to page:
