LOW DPI WHEN PRINTING 8x10

When I print 8X10 my Canon printer says 300 dpi so less quality, but photo is like 3-5 MP. I would think 3MP would print fine, but it just prints okay but nowhere near perfect or like I see on PC screen. Any ideas?

At five-by-seven no issues.

What OS and version of Photoshop Elements are you using?

Are you printing from the Organizer or the Editor?

What printer are you using?

What print quality are you using in the print driver settings?  A screenshot of your Print dialogs might be helpful.

What is troubling you about the print quality - color or sharpness or both?

What is the size of your picture in pixels?

8x10inches at 300ppi would be 2400px x 3000px! That would be OK.
