You can do this by expanding the group to its full size (even if it's
larger than the screen rect) and using a script on Ken Ray's website
called "How to Export a Card Image"
(http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/metacard/tips/imag007.htm). This
will export the full image to a graphic file which you can then print.

I've done this with a very large group (3000 X 3000 pixels). It's a
little tricky if you don't want the user to see the expansion of the
group. You have to use judicious placement of Lock/Unlock screen
commands. However, if you put them in the wrong place, you'll get a
black image for anything larger than the screen rect.
