any size, if you are willing to interpolate and see the artifacts at large sizes. Seriously, though, it depends on the print resolution. 300 dpi? 180 dpi? 240 dpi? name your resolution and do the math. at 300 dpi printed, an sensor/image size of say, 3000 x 2000 will yield a direct translation to 10 inches by 6.66 inches. at 150 dpi, it's 20 inches by 13.33 inches. Can you live with 150 DPI image quality? you tell me. Get the sensor size for the 20D and divide your desired output DPI resolution into the sensor dimensions. Of course, your printer will almost certinaly re-sample to the 720 dpi or 1440 dpi or whatever it's capable of, so it's never a direct a 1:1 translation of pixels to ink drops.
