Hmmm, if you got MS Word you can create a table and then paste the image inside each table then print it out. I have done that before. Let me know if this would work. if not I am sure someone else would come along with better ideas.

Set it as your wallpaper....set it to tile without stretching. Minimize all windows and move icons to one side. Hit Alt and PrintScreen at the same time (captures the wallpaper to the clipboard) and then paste into any picture editing program you want. You may have to crop some of it due to the icons and rotate 90 degrees to get a full portrait page, but this is the quickest way I can think of. (Be sure your destop settings are set to what you prefer ...high color, ture color, etc. ...when you 'capture' using the alt - print screen

If you have the latest ACDC 4.0 Power suite, there is that option. I guess the idea is to have the tiled layout first on a page and print the page. But I'd try the print screen way, but hide the taskbar and all icons first. May just come out looking good and ya can't argue with the cost.

When you hit printscreen, it copies the screen to the clipboard, so you might want to paste to an image editing program first and then print.

Good luck.

If you have Photoshop...

1. Open the stamp image file.

2. Give it a slight white area around the actual image so that you'll have margin when the image is tiled. This will make cutting easier.

3. Go to Edit > Define Pattern

4. Make a new document by pressing CTRL+N

5. Go to Edit > Fill

6. Click on Custom Pattern and you will see the stamp image you defined as a pattern in step #3.

7. Press OK
