Roger,
If your OS is Win95/98/Me/2000 I suggest you try a program called Qimage
Pro. You don't have to resample for printing as the program does it for you.
The print results are far superior than PS or PSP. The program is very
inexpensive and the support is very good.
You can get a trial version at:
