Everything you need to know is here: http://www.scantips.com/basics08.html The resolution of a prints is less than 300 dpi, so you won't get anything extra by scanning above 300 dpi unless you have extremely high quality prints (i.e. not the kind you get from the drug store). Does this mean that you no longer have the negatives? The negatives have an order of magnitude more resolution than the prints...archive those as well as scanning the prints (or better yet, have the negatives scanned).
