We need to consider the resolution of the lens we use, and the sensor in the camera and the capabilities of the printer. Each resolution has its own meaning and its own way for figuring out the resolution. All three plus the Post Processing will factor into the final system resolution. Your camera sensor lists resolution in Mega Pixels , computer images are in pixel per inch (or mm), printers measure it in dots per inch and lenses measure resolution in line pairs per inch (or mm). The total system resolution will be less than the lowest value from each of the components.
There are charts - Cornell has(OOPS - HAD) a great vector drawing chart that you can have had printed and then photograph it, process it and print it. the first print of the vector drawing should be on a large format very high quality printer as every reproduction reduces the resolution
I have that drawing if you need it - PM me with your email and I will send it.

You are right. There are a lot more factors involved. But I think what he wanted to know was how to keep his 300 res pic at 300. when printing, and I was trying to be very basic for printing purposes. Maybe I was not. And yes you have to do a trial print to make sure it is the way you want, as the monitor will not do that.
