Stop and think - you are scanning a film frame at 2800 ppi (or 4000 ppi), but when enlarged to print size will be much less that 2800 dpi but more like 360 dpi for an 8x10" print.
Though printers are rated as printing at 1440 or 2880 dpi, the maximum accepted input to my knowledge is 720 ppi, which is then printed at the 1440 or 2880 dpi by means of the printer driver.
