It should be possible to print one drawing over any number of pages when scaled up. (This is a very unusual feature which Illustrator happens to support.)

This is also called print tiling, where a user may scale a drawing and then print it on maybe 10 letter sized pieces of paper, and then that user can combine those drawings however they want into a large composite. This is a nice feature if you don't have a large scale print and need one.

Even [MS -- gt] paint supports this :)
In the interim, other commenters suggest various third-party options

I was thinking of a simple dbus macro that could do this.
- save the current page layout
- set the page to A4
- move the A4 window iteratively and print each
- restore the original page
the advantage would be that inkscape does the printing and no intermediate program can fail, other than the printer. The disadvantage would be printer interaction.
Migrator's Notes:
- Try as I may, I can't find a duplicate issue here on GitLab, open or otherwise. Apologies in advance if this issue already is registered here.
- Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this something that the printer driver would handle? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
