The easiest thing to do is to turn the paper round! When you go to File > Print (or press Ctrl and P together), don't just click on 'OK'. Instead select 'Properties' and change the format from 'Portrait' to 'Landscape' (or vice versa, as appropriate)

When you go to File > Print (or press Ctrl and P together), don't just click on 'OK'. Instead select 'Properties' and change the format from 'Portrait' to 'Landscape' (or vice versa, as appropriate). You'll also find other options there, such as 'fit to page', to enable you to get the best result.
The method above will work for ALL file types. So it won't matter whether the file is a jpeg image, a PDF page, a Word document or anything else. (Otherwise we'd need to know what type of file it is and which program you're viewing it with, in order to provide you with the instructions for rotating it).

What each person sees when they click on 'Properties' depends upon the make and model of the printer that they're using. So I can only provide you with examples of what you'll need to look for when you do so. (You'll see something roughly similar but, unless you've got the same type of printer as me, not exactly the same).
When I click on 'Properties' I see this:

As you'll see (towards the bottom left of the box) I've got the options to switch between 'Portrait' and 'Landscape'. So, as I've already suggested, you need to get that bit right first. However, at the top of the box, you'll see that there are various tabs, including 'Page Setup'. Clicking on that one then takes me to here:

In the 'Page Layout' section you'll see that there are various options, including 'Fit-to-Page'. Selecting that one should prevent your image from being spread across several pages.
