It will automatically cut off what it can't fit or it will re-size it so it can fit.

Nothing will happen because those values are two different things. For the photo, those numbers are pixel dimensions of the photos. For the printer, those numbers are the MAXIMUM DPI (dots per inch) the printer can produce. For the printer, think of it as how close it can squeeze droplets of ink together.
The other number you need to know is the PPI the photo is set to. That will tell you how big the photo will be printed. You can change the photo's PPI without changing its pixel dimensions - resulting in the photo just being printed larger or smaller.

The printer would do the best it can with the pixels provided. Depending on the software driver, I can be made to "dither" the differences between the pixels in the file, and the dots the printer makes.
Biggest risk in quality is that you might see "moire" patterns in the print. "Moire" is the weird, psychedelic looking patters made when some incompattable dpi's conflict in the print.
Try printing on cheap paper, first, to see if these patterns occur. If you see them, go back into the printer driver software and play with the adjustments you can make. Look under "print set-up or something like that.

You have quoted 'pixel dimension', not resolution. Resolution is the dpi (dots per inch). Most digital cameras are saved at 72dpi. I would put your image in a page layout programme or word (A4) and reduce the size on your photo, if it isn't fitting on an A4, to around half A4. You should get a good printout then.

When I did this on my old printer it didnt seem to make any difference.

im pretty sure the res. will just be a little different. It wont screw up the pic or anything, so ur safe there

you would get the max printer res.

it would be more clear then usual print..... its works with simple technique... pixels vs dimensions
