how to make a jpeg into a high resolution photo for printing?

I'm starting a new project and was wondering if there is a simple way to make a lo res jpeg file into a high resolution file for printing posters to hang on walls (12 x 18 and higher). I don't have photoshop, although I'm sure I may need to get it. Any ideas? Or similar projects you have done? 

 

 

(not sure if I posted this in the right place :D )

12 x 18 feet?  That would be about 366 x 549 cm.

12 x 18 inches = 30.5 x 45.7 cm :D 

 

I guess that I was "over-blowing-up" your future images!

Speaking of posters ...I did this in my boring bathroom. The settings were through the Brother printer regarding quality, grayscale or color, jpeg or whatever format. 

These are 8.5 x 11 inches, close to your 12 x 18. I first printed about 100 other ones on a much smaller scale.

I don't know why I had assumed that you were planning to expand ET screenshots. :?:
