Print image scan larger than actual size
#5
ninja'd by ofnuts but some screenshots that might help.
------------------------------------
Too many screenshots so follow the links.

It depends how you scan the card. This is using Xsane and a defined area. You might be scanning into a full sheet size (A4 / letter) 300 ppi is considered print quality. If it is a small card consider a larger ppi, maybe 600

You might have scanned and left a margin around the card, if you have, then crop down to the neat size.

Then use Image -> Print Size, guessing you want inches so change units if required. In the dialog you can change either the size or the resolution. In this I change the resolution from 300 -> 200 giving a increased size ( but lower quality)

If you are going to print in some other application then export that image as a jpeg. Other wise in Gimp File -> Print you get something like this. Printing on US letter size paper, the size should be the same as in the Print Size setting.

That is using Gimp for printing. You might be better off using LibreOffice (LO). Use the jpeg exported from Gimp. LO will scale using click-drag to any size you want, bearing in mind print quality if scaled up too much.
