Pixel dimensions and resolution are the same thing!
Paint does not print anything 6+ times larger. Impossible.
What you see from Paint is the size that your image would occupy on your
screen, at 96 dpi, with the number of pixels contained in your image file.
Nothing more and nothing less. Paint does not print anything. It simply
tranfers the file to your printer. Select the print size.
