OK, here's what I get with 2/2":
720 dpi: Image is printed at position 4 1/8" from left edge and 3 1/4" down
1440 dpi:                             2 1/8" from left edge and 3 1/4" down

This third scaling method seems like a good idea. What I do now is get the
native resolution from gimp and then just set the PPI accordingly. This is
one step that should not be necessary.
