Gimp won't reduce graphics to Print Size on printing

My sister-in-law sent me some JPEG photo files that displayed rather 
large on the monitor and clearly were not going to fit the photo paper I 
had available.  I opened both Image Size and Print Size and changed the 
resolution from 90dpi to 300dpi, whereupon the millimetre dimensions 
reduced sufficiently to fit the paper.

The RGB --> CMYK printer is an Epson CX6900F multifunction that has a 
page preview function. When the photos were printed, the preview showed 
only a small area from the upper left corner, i.e. the size/resolution 
information saved in the JPEG files had been totally ignored.  
Eventually I had to use  (blush!) Microsoft Photo Editor, a freebie that 
comes with Windows XP.

What is going on?

Windows XP SP3, Gimp  2.4.6

Hedley
