Almost what you want - 

 The Rasterbator is a web service which creates huge, rasterized images
from any picture. The rasterized images can be printed and assembled
into extremely cool looking posters up to 20 meters in size. 

It can also be downloaded and used as a standalone program (hint hint)

Click here to download The Rasterbator Standalone 1.0! (812 kb)

The zip file includes the application, its source code and SharpDevelop
project files. The source code is licensed under the GPL.
Requirements

The application requires .NET Framework 1.1.To print the posters, you
need a pdf reader such as Adobe Reader. The application might also work
with .NET Framework 1.0 (comes with Windows XP) and Mono (available for
many platforms, such as Linux or Mac), but the compatibility has not
been tested. If you manage to run it on Linux or Mac, please tell me!

The Rasterbator uses iTextSharp and SharpZipLib libraries. These are
included in the file.
