Define what you mean by print. In a magazine, inkjet or photograph. Depending on the quaility required each system has a dpi (dots per inch) setting. Your monitor screen is 72 dpi so if you divide your pixel size by the dpi it gives you the final image size on screen. Likewise with printing the dpi varies from 150 to 300 dpi. So if you printed to an inkjet at 150 dpi the image will be 5.12" x 3.84".

And what Rob's reply meant was - it depends on how good you want it to look. And that depends on how you plan to use the image.
