What print resolution you have set?

The default is, I believe, around 72 pixels/inch, which makes for pretty 
fuzzy printing. 300 might be more appropriate for a reasonably sharp 
image. The dialogue will tell you what size your image will print at.

What have you then scaled to, to achieve an appropriate size for 
printing at the size you want?

How did you go about printing? If you did something like export the 
resulting image to a JPG file and print that, any text will have become 
as fuzzy as the rest of image if it had inadequate resolution.
