I believe that if you post your photo at 72 dpi (just like you would on your
website) then it will not be "printable quality" & thus not be printable for
someone on Facebook. I would not think that any Facebook mechanisms could
change the fact that you uploaded an image that you resized to only 72 dpi.
For a printable image you would want your image to be 240 - 300 dpi.
Hope that helps or perhaps someone else would say that this somehow is
different with Facebook uploads.
