I used to have a printer that did 11"x17". I'd keep like tables in a grouping that would fit on and then print them on 11"x17" sheets and tile them all together into a complete layout if needed. Usually end up with a nice poster or wallpaper in some cases. Good for meetings, bad for handouts ;o) For handouts I use Visio to make an overview layout of the general purpose of each sheet so I could put these together in a package. The general layout would be something like an table of contents to the detail level sheets. "Contact Information", "Permit Information", etc. with connection lines between the major elements to show the general flow of relationships. Kinkos (and others of their ilk) have large format printers so you may be able to do what Steve suggests and then take the large graphic down to them for a printout.

I did set my second monitor to highest resolution and got all the tables on the display that way which made it much easier to work with, then printed it out landscape, narrow margins which was only two pages to tape together. The BE is changing every day right now so Visio - while providing a better diagram - would have too much overhead. And the diagram it generated covered 8 pages.
