This first image is a screenshot of ViewVC's directory listing view of your
Wells Farchovia ;-) CVS repository.  As you navigate through these directory
listings, you are crawling around in the virtual filesystem of that CVS
repository.  At some point, you find a version-controlled file in the CVS
repository called "Fee_Mgt_Orchestration_Functions.jpg" that you're
interested in viewing and printing.  So you click the name of that file, and
you see this (your second image):

Here's the thing.  Your web browser is at this point merely showing you a
picture -- a particular picture that ViewVC has helped you (and it) find. 
ViewVC doesn't generate the picture.  It doesn't manipulate the picture.  It
doesn't know what's in the picture, doesn't know the picture's dimensions,
and certainly wouldn't know how to break the picture up into smaller
page-sized chunks.  It just tells your web browser "the picture lives
_here_".  And the web browser displays it, just as it would display any
other image on the Internet.

So, yes, your question is generic:  how can I print a single big image
across many pages from a web browser.

Unfortunately, the mailing list you contacted isn't a generic mailing list,
so your question is off-topic.  That's okay -- happens all the time.  And
typically, I'd still try to answer the question if I could.  Alas, I don't
know a really good answer to your question.  I would start by clicking the
"(download)" link at the top-left corner of the page you show here.  This
will download that big JPEG image to your computer.  From there, you'll
probably need some sort of image editing software to either break the image
up into smaller chunks or to at least print it across multiple pages.  Maybe
the result of this Google search will help?

Sorry I/we can't be of more assistance.
