I have a 36" x 24" photograph. What would be the optimum resolution to scan it at so that the file natively prints at 18" x 12" without sampling again? I presume a photo printing shop's printer prints at 300dpi.

It’s a factor of 2 smaller, so scanning at 150 dpi will translate directly to 300 dpi printing.
