I don't know about the number of receptors, I recall reading
somewhere (it was probably a Zone VI newsletter) that a well
corrected human eye can resolve about 10 lines per millimeter at
it's closest focus distance. Hence, if a finished print resolves
greater than that, it will appear "sharp" at any viewing
distance.
