I'm a little confused by this thread and it makes me wonder if I'm doing
something wrong. When I make prints, all I do is feed my 4000 dpi scan into
the print dialog and tell it to spread the image to the margins (maintaining
correct aspect ratio of course, so there is white border along two parallel
edges unless the image precisely corresponds to the aspect ratio of the
paper). I just let the print drivers figure everything out. I'm using the
Epson 2000P, so can print to the edge of the paper.
