It would probably be good to reduce error_bound for stronger shadowing
effects, but you would have to increase count to avoid artefacts at the
same time.  For a more detailed suggestion i would need to see the
radiosity settings and the finishes of the objects.

concerning printing:
I had my last high quality prints on a3 paper made with a image width of
4800 (that's just below 300 dpi).  Printers for large posters surely do
not need that high resolution, but the best would probably be to make some
test prints if possible.
