Several things. First, what you're setting there is ONLY the image size, not the output size. Second, Bicubic is usually fine for most stuff.... MOST of the rest, as Hoofdcommisaris says, is for video, and so on... . The main thing, you should know what it is the printer needs. what format.... Photoshop WILL put out a print file... this will be in Postscript, and is fairly universal... as-of this point, there are four levels of Postscript, and not all printers can read some of the different levels. Where you DO want to set the page/paper size would be in the file menu... either print with preview, or page setup... either one will get you to a place where you can arrange things to your needs. If you want the output as a printfile, you have to check the box in "print", and specify a location.... example.. C:01testfile ... this'll output the printfile testfile to address C:01 on your system. it will be Postscript. Best thing... ask your printer what he needs in an output file... sometimes they want psd, sometimes they want pdf. Lou.
