  Judging from my results with a 1280, sending the 7600 360dpi should be
about right.  However, the printer itself should be set for the highest
resolution which is still an option for the paper (2880dpi for gloss, 1440
for matte)

  You should see very little improvement for 180ppi to 360ppi, but if you
get out a lupe, I'll bet you can see it.

  You're better off to simply resize the image without resampling.  For
example, if a 1Ds prints 8by10 at 360ppi, print 16by20 at 180ppi.  If you
compare this method with resampling, I believe you'll see very little
difference ... but feel free to experiment.
