I am new to this forum and have been browsing the postings. One thing I would like to say about this particular issue is that first I agree that 200dpi is fine for inkjet printing. In fact, I kind of think of it as the "rule of thumb."
But also, there is a lot of talk about "resampling" in this thread. If you have an image that is 2400 pixels wide, and you want to print it at 12 inches, you should definitely NOT resample it. There is no need to, since you can already print it at 12 inches by just changing its dpi to 200. You would only use resampling if you had to enlarge its dimensions (width or height in pixels), which in this case is unnecessary, because it is already large enough. Since resampling is unnecessary, there is no sharpening problem either. Just change the dpi (without resampling) and print it.
