Thank you for your advice.
You are right about not needing to print 3872.5 x 3872.5 dpi.
And your writeup is truly helpful. Thanks for that.
My printer (Canon Pixma Pro-100) claims to print up to 4800 x 2400.
Yes, I am throwing unrealistic numbers around.
However, it remains that print.exe crashed.
And that "Printing Progress" window fell into an eternal wait.
That "Printing Progress" window is not a Gimp thing.
