300 is pretty good, but 1000-3000 is super-awesome.

I do 300dpi for doujinshi scans, 600dpi for color, and 1500 for blueprints/etc.

Depends on your printer.

Best results come from interpolation/resizing in computer, not printer (unless you have a Fiery or something). So set to appropriate size and resolution before sending to printer.

Most inkjets = ~600 is very good, most lasers 300 is very good. above 1200 is only useful for digital offset and the like (not home stuff).

Rule of thumb is that the original digital image should be set at twice the maximum capability of the printer.

So if your printer does 300dpi, your image should be in 600dpi for optimal quality.

Offset print with 80 grid = 405dpi

It's my understanding that most newspapers do 300, magazines closer to 1200.

For home/personal printing, it seriously depends on what you're printing it on and what you want it for.
