Just to clarify Erics comments.

When you print at 300dpi each pixel will print at a size of 1/300th of an inch.

Scaleing the document size on screen will show the size of the printed document on screen but, there will be fewer pixels and they will be approx 1/100th of an inch in size (depending on the res of your display).

Scaleing can only give an approximation of what the image will look like when printed. You will need to actually print to see the true printed quality of the image.
