I assume you have the pdf schematic that Rick K shared with us a while 
ago. There's plenty of detail in there, you just can't see it if you 
print the whole thing to one letter-sized page. One option is to take 
the file to a copy place like Kinkos (or what ever they are called now) 
and have them print it on bigger paper.

Or, on your own, you can try this... (your mileage may vary depending on 
OS, tools, or printer driver.) Open the file in Adobe reader. On the 
size-percentage at the top, set it to 100% or 125%. Scroll to the upper 
left corner of the schematic on your screen. Send it to the printer. 
When I do this my printer driver window opens. Change the Print Range to 
'Current View' so you're just printing the section you were viewing. You 
may need to change to Landscape mode for best fit - for me this is 
buried in Properties. I changed Page Scaling to 'Fit to Printer Margins' 
to best fill the page. You probably want that or Normal.

Print it. If it is readable, your are close, if not, go back to Adobe 
and increase the % setting. When you can read the section on the printed 
version ok, print the whole schematic by scrolling the view in Adobe and 
printing it in sections. If you keep the % setting the same in reader 
between pages they should match. Get some scissors and tape and put the 
pieces together.

Not pretty, but I've done it before to get something I can work with.
