Krokus is intended to be a fully functional equivalent of many printing software available on Windows. Its name is in honor of Polish enlargers which were used by many generations of photographers in Poland.
Big thanks for the author of this software for the help concerning the compilation.

Would this software allow me to print a image across 2 A4 sheets?

Krokus allows printing 2x2 A4 sheets posters (2 sheets by width and 2 sheets height), so you could use only 2 sheets from 4 to print that image.
How to print posters:
Go to Page tab and check Poster checkbox, change 1 to 2 in unlocked text field and click Apply. After that, there will be displayed two lines on the preview, one vertical and one horizontal, which shows where ends one sheet and starts next. It's all, but you should remember that ppi (resolution) is set for one sheet - when printing 2x2 poster it will be multiplied by 2 (and needs about 4 time more space in memory than normal page). For 2x2 posters I recommend using ppi below 400 or even about 250 or 300 if you don't have a lot of free memory.
