Printing Actual Pixels using Print Resolution
Up until now, a printer's resolution both dpi and lpi only affected image quality
not size. The only time when the printer’s resolution will affect the size of your
printed image is when you choose Actual Pixel Size in the Advanced Print
dialog. Printing something at 100% of pixel size means the printer will print one
dot for every pixel in your image. The size of the printed image will be
determined by the printer’s resolution. For example, if your printer has a 600 dpi
resolution, a 1200 by 1600 image will be printed to a 2” (1200/600) by 2.66”
(1600/600) area.
