Print large Numbers tables on one page

I find frustrating the way Numbers prints large tables – they're often split both horizontally and vertically across multiple pages.

One way to print a large table on a single page is to copy the table and open it in Preview. In Numbers, click the dragging square at the top left of the table. (You need to scroll to the top of the table to see it.) Press Command-C, open Preview and press Command-N. Print away.

[kirkmc adds: Interesting: if you paste a table into Preview, it's displayed with no borders or extra space, as if it were a PDF. (There's a hint explaining this.) However, when you print, make sure to select Scale to Fit, then Fill Entire Paper. I tried pasting a long table - about 300 lines - and Preview, using the default print settings, would have printed the entire table on one page.]
