It sounds to me like you have everything right. Remember that you will only be able to print 425’ x 550’ (assuming no borders) at a time on an 8.5 x 11 sheet, using 1:50 scale. If your drawing is larger than 425’ x 550’ (and I am because you stated that you want to print on to multiple sheets) then all you have to do is input the scale 1:50 not 50:1,double click in the viewport and pan to the corner of your drawing and print that portion. Now double click in the viewport and pan to the next section.
*Be very careful to not accidentally zoom in or out while you are panning the drawing by moving the mouse wheel.*
Hope this helps
