I never worry about the print size or dpi settings of images. I typically don't have a choice--I have only one source image to work with. That's probably why I never noticed this ;-)
I don't know of any way to constrain, or even to display, the pixel geometry or resolution of an image once it's inserted in an OOo file. All you can see is the scale factor (%) and "real-world geometry" of the image. Writer automatically scales the pixels from the original image data to whatever is required for the output device, without changing the image data at all. The effective output resolution is always the smaller of (device_dpi, image_dpi).
So I guess if you want to ensure that the images in your document are at least 600 dpi, or that the images are output without scaling, then you would want to do the size adjustment before you import the picture and then avoid changing the real-world size of the image in OOo.
