Print ER diagram for a database in SQL Server

Hi there,
I am a newbie to SQL Server so please bear with me if I happen to ask a
stupid question.
I am trying to print the ER diagram for our database in SQL server. In
Enterprise Manager we have an option to create the ER Diagram and then to
print it. But the problem is it prints into several pages.
I want in to print on a large paper so I could stick it to my wall. We have
a 36'x36' plotter that could print huge diagrams.
Do I have to convert it into PDF to print in on page.
Please give me some ideas.
thanks,

right-click on the white background on the database
diagram and select Page Setup. You can select different
page sizes and scale ratios on this form.

diagrams for the functional areas of the database instead of the entire
thing in one.
Sincerely,
