Is there a relationship between the canvas and print size. eg. do they need to be the same?
Check out the link that denzjos gave
In brief: The canvas size in Gimp is in pixels, You can see the size in the Gimp title bar. The print resolution will determine the print quality depending on the pixels-per-inch (ppi sometimes called dpi) that you set.
A simple example:
A 300 x 300 pixel image when printed at 300 ppi prints an image 1 inch x 1 inch. Small print but good quality.
the same image
A 300 x 300 pixel image when printed at 50 ppi prints an image 6 inches x 6 inches. Larger print but poor quality.
