You can set physical dimensions and resolution which will generate the 
number of pixels.  Or you can set the number of pixels.  Or you can set 
the pixel dimensions and the resolution which will tell you the physical 
size of the image.  However, the physical size of the image is only 
realized if the application pays attention to the resolution value.  Few 
actually do.  Printers generally produce what they're explicitly told to 
do.  They don't query data embedded in the image to determine print 
resolution and dimensions.
