It depends on the pixel dimensions - if the CD photos are only 360 px by 504 px ( which is 5"x7" at 72 DPI), you will not get very high quality prints. However, I suspect the CD photos are probably much larger - so you should resize them to 5x7 with software like GIMP and see what the resulting PPI is... Wow, does that even make sense? Let me try again: even though the CD photos are at 72 DPI, they're probably much larger than 5x7 - if so you can resize them to 5x7 and end up with a higher PPI. Most drugstore labs (where I live) can print photos from a SD card or a USB stick...
