from their printers which *they* control, not you.  an image does not
present dots per inch and you cannot give them something not existing.  if
you/they are actually referring to pixels, ppi, use the correct term and
use it to describe the crop area of the image.  that capability *is*
provided by gimp and will lead you to less confusion.

also when describing a problem, using the wrong terms leads to incorrect
assumptions for those attempting to provide you a solution.
