On the Epson 9600, 7600 and 4000 there are some quality settings 
in the driver that will result in a request for 720 PPI 
resolution in the Epson driver. Tested that with Qimage which 
shows the native resolution per driver setting just above the 
preview. All other Epson Wide Formats are 360 PPI max in native 
resolution.  Whether it shows in the final print is another matter.
