To directly answer the question as posed, one must upsample the image.
Step Interpolation seems to be the best way at the moment. One can do it
manually in photo editors. Fred Mirandas SIPro is a cheap and very good
PS plug-in. There are other stand alone programs and plug-ins that cost
more.
However, 300 dpi isn't necessary for quality results. I print the
1200x1600 images from the S110 at 144 dpi or even 120 dpi if cropped and
get great prints. Now I don't know how the printer driver for the Epson
1270 I have works with that and its 1440 dpi ability. I assume it does
its own version of upsampling, but of course optimized for the way the
printer works. I do know that I someimes got funny results when I first
got it using when using random dpis, but found that using even integer
divisions of the 1440 always works. Probably most others would too, but
once burned, twice shy.
