	I get nice results when I render with 1/3 the number of pixels compared
to the dots on the printer. Usually an image that looks good at 100
pixels per inch on the screen will be nice at 300 dpi on the printer and
about the same size. But of course you may like it better at 600 or even
1200 dpi : then it will be respectively twice and four times smaller. So
you'll need two or four times as many pixels to get the same size as it
was at 300 dpi.

	I use The Gimp to post-process my images : that's a lot to learn but it
beats the crap of anything else on Linux. Among other things you'll find
out how many pixels an inch you have right now, accounting for you
resolution and monitor size.

	Have fun.
