 computer question

My wonderful wife, Ticia, tells me that you people know everything there is to know about computers, or that you know people who do.  So I thought I'd see if I could get some free customer support :)
  (On a side note, speaking of Ticia--you thought we were speaking about computers!--I was just made aware of the time by my wife.  Every day, between 5:40am and 5:45am I hear "I'm sooo tired..."  That's when I know that her car pool is just a few minutes away.  She is so consistant!  I love it :)
  Uh, oh!  She just read this and gave me a serious "Humph!" sound.  That means she's piqued.
  Ok, where was I--Australia!
  Here's the deal:  I just discovered the joys of digital picture resolution.  I found that instead of just changing the size of a picture, I can change the number of pixels per square inch.  And of course, when I find a good thing, I tend to carry it to extremes.  I thought "If 300 p/i is good, then 1000 p/i ought to be fantastic!"  But then it occured to me that if my printer is less than stellar, it wouldn't matter how awesome my picture resolution is.
  Ok, I think I've almost worked myself up to asking the question.  I found out that my printer has a resolution of 600 dpi (dots per square inch?).  How does this compare to pixels per square inch?  Is a pixel it's own dot?  Dot's pretty much all I want to know for now.
